dear Vadehi,
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of chilli garlic sauce do you use? Do you recommend any particular brand?
@Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI use sambal oelek chilli garlic sauce. Its available in most of the supermarkets. Its really good. But if you dont find it where you live, then you can use maggi.
Sometime, I'll post recipe to make it at home as well
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if there is a link to make the chilli garlic sauce at home?
Thanks
I am giving you Green chili Garlic sauce recipe. If you want to make red chili sauce, use broken dried red chilies. Soak them into vinegar for few hours. OR you can boil them into little water for 2-3 minutes. Keep them cover to make them soft. Then follow the same procedure given under green chili garlic sauce recipe.
