Ingredients and Equipment
Gather the following ingredients and equipment:
Main ingredients: fresh red and green chilies, garlic, ginger, vinegar, sugar, and salt
Equipment: blender or food processor, saucepan, and sterilized glass jars for storage
Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Chilies
Start by washing and drying 1 cup of red chilies and 1/2 cup of green chilies. Remove the stems and chop them into small pieces. For a milder sauce, remove the seeds and white membrane from the chilies.
Step 2: Blend the Chilies
In a blender or food processor, blend the chopped chilies with 4 cloves of garlic, 1 inch of ginger root, and a splash of vinegar until you have a smooth paste.
Step 3: Prepare the Other Ingredients
Chop 1 medium onion and 2 medium tomatoes into small pieces. In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds. Once they start to sizzle, add the chopped onion and tomatoes, and 1 sprig of curry leaves (if using). Cook until the onions are translucent and the tomatoes are soft.
Step 4: Combine and Cook
Add the blended chili paste to the saucepan and mix well with the onion and tomato mixture. Add 1/2 cup of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5: Store and Serve
Once the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded together, remove it from the heat and let it cool. Pour the hot pepper sauce into sterilized glass jars and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve with your favorite Indian dishes or use as a marinade for meats.
