Homemade Hot Sauce

Homemade condiments are a joy to relish with your favourite chips or fritters or any fried recipes. And this hot sauce is a bomb. After this I have stopped buying chilli sauces from the market. It's just perfectly flavourful and without any added sugar or preservatives...so it's a win-win situation for me on both the sides. 

Homemade Hot Sauce

Makes 100 ml of hot sauce

Ingredients:

250 gm of red chillies

10-12 fat cloves of garlic

1 small onion – cut into slices

Salt & pepper

1 cup of white vinegar (or enough to submerge the chillies)

2 tsp honey

Method:

In a saucepan throw in the vinegar, red chillies, garlic and onion and simmer until the garlic cloves become soft to press.

Switch off the flame and leave them to cool down.

Once they are cold enough, blend them to a fine puree.

Strain the puree through a sieve to get the fine hot liquid.

Heat the liquid in a sauté pan and pour in the strained hot sauce into it.

Add salt and pepper as per taste and the honey.

Simmer for about 5-10 minutes depending on the consistency you want to achieve for your sauce.

Let it cool down and pour in a washed and sterilised glass bottle or jar.

Use within 2 months.
