Recipe Notes

Alternatively to skip dry roasting you can sundry the red chillies until crisp.This may take 2-3 days if there is hot sun in your home.Spread a netted cloth to protect it from insects and flies.
If its summer season you can try sun drying else can use the dry roasting method, but roast it in low flame without burning.
Keeps well in room temperature itself but incase if you want to store for more than 6 months then take half of it and store in fridge.Keep the rest in your kitchen patry itself and use it.
The measurement is purely our preference.You can add 1/2 and 1/2 of chilli varieties if you prefer medium spicy like I've have done.If you want more spice level then increase long chilli variety.
