Hot Chilli Paste

Directions

1. 1
   If you are using dry chilies, soak them in a bowl of boiling water until they have softened, about an hour; then drain the soaked chilies and prepare as usual.
2. 2
   Process all ingredients in a blender or food processor, adding oil a little at a time until mixture becomes smooth and pasty and of the right consistency (How much oil you use really depends on the size of your chilies).
3. 3
   Store refrigerated in an airtight container, covering the top of the paste with a little bit of oil.
