Critical Success Points

  • Remove as many seeds as possible from the chilies to control the heat level.
  • Maintain the oil temperature between 130 °C and 145 °C to avoid smoke and bitterness.
  • Pour the very hot oil over the chilies while filtering to avoid splatters.

Safety Warnings

  • The oil reaches very high temperatures; handle it with care and wear kitchen gloves.
  • Never leave the oil unattended while heating.
  • Keep children and pets away from the cooking area.
