200 gram red chilies, remove some or all seeds for a mild chili sauce (*)
10 cloves garlic
3 cups (750 ml) water
5 gram tamarind pulp
4 tablespoon sugar, or to taste
½ tablespoon salt, or to taste
Directions
In a spice attachment for a blender (or food processor), grind together red chilies and garlic into coarse paste.
Boil together the chili paste, water, tamarind pulp, sugar, and salt. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Adjust salt and sugar as needed.
Turn off the heat. Let it cool, then transfer to glass jar(s). Best if you let the chili sauce chill overnight in fridge before using.
