Servings1 cup
Ingredients
- 20-25 nos dried red chili
Instructions
- Dry roast red chilies till it turns slightly browned. When you try to break it, it should break and not bend that's the correct stage so till then keep roasting in low flame. Also cool down and then try to break and see only then it will break easily.
- Now break each roasted red chili into 2-3 pieces and transfer to mixer jar. I am assuming that your mixer jar is completely dry.
- Pulse it 3-4 times, don't over do. I did around 10-12 chilies at a time. Do this in batches to get a coarse mixture. Spread it in a plate, cool down completely then store it.
- Serve chili flakes with pizza.

Notes
- Don't use the grind option in mixie, use the pulse option that too just for 3-4 times then stop check and then proceed.If you keep on pulsing then the red chilies will get powdered.
- Breaking the red chilies helps in getting coarse flakes.
- Make sure your mixer jar is dry and clean.
- Roasting is very important so keep roasting till its crisp and tends to break.Only after cooling down a but, the red chilies will become breakable, so don't underestimate and over roast it.
- You can store this for 6 months in refrigerator and use it whenever needed.
- Always cool down completely before adding to mixer.
