    ve never tried making this before. But I am hoping its not bland as the one we get in stores. Most o fthe brands, are not good enough for me..

    This looks quite tempting , compelling me to try once 😉

    Hi, thanks for this recipe.. I've been looking everywhere! 🙂

    One question. I'm using normal red chillies for this.. I don't have dried red chillies here. I see in your ingredient you've said to use 5 but the picture has a lot more. How many regular red chillies should I use?

    • great-secret-of-life

      I have used about 8 because I wanted it spicy. 5 is for normal spiciness.. If you have regular red chillies Self life can be shorter. Depending on the spiciness of the chillies you can use the equal amount or less. you can substitute with red chillie flakes 1/4 teaspoon for every 1 dry chillies.. Hope this helps. In the future I appreciate if you can leave the name in the comments..All the best
