Critical Success Points

  • Rehydrate the dried chilies fully (30 min soak).
  • Blend the chilies into a completely smooth puree.

  • Simmer uncovered on low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Safety Warnings

  • Wear gloves when handling dried chilies to avoid skin irritation and staining.
  • Hot oil can splatter; keep a lid nearby and use long‑handled tools.
