Description - Step 1

Step 1: Dry Roast The Chillies

Start by removing the stems from the red chillies. Then heat a pan over low heat and dry-roast the chillies for a minute, until they turn fragrant and slightly darker; then let them cool. Make sure to avoid burning them. Then, once they are cooled properly, transfer them into the grinder and grind them into a fine powder.
