But chilies do more than just add heat. Depending on the type of chili you use, they can also impart a range of flavors - sweet, smoky, fruity, or earthy. These flavors can add layers of complexity to your sauce, making it more than just a spicy condiment. Garlic, The Balancing Element For a spicier sauce, up your chili content. If you're a garlic lover, add in an extra clove or two. Just remember, small adjustments can make a big difference. So, tweak gradually and taste often. Want a sweeter, fruitier sauce? Go for red bell peppers or sweet paprika. Look no further than the ghost pepper if you crave a mouth-numbing spice. Mix and match to discover your own signature blend.

I haven’t tried this exact recipe with dried chiles but I have used dried chiles to make an easy chili oil and the flavour isn’t as strong compared to using fresh chiles of course. Though if you’re using dried chiles, I recommend to process these as well and just cook down with the garlic. AROMATICS IMPORTANT: Be careful not to hold the chiles with your hands! If you accidentally do, don’t scratch your face (especially your eyes!) since these can be really hot. COOKING THE SAUCE Strange Smells: A fresh chili garlic sauce has a distinctive, robust aroma. It's time to make a new batch if it smells sour or unpleasant.

Easily customisable–you can opt to add in lots of spices and even opt to cook down the chiles & garlic shorter/longer depending on how crisp you want them to turn out
