Ingredients
 
 

  • 50 grams whole dried red chillies
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
  • 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
  • cinnamon
  • 4 clove garlic
  • olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes

Instructions
 

  • Soak chillies in water for 1-2 hrs.
  • Preheat oven to 200 ℃ (400 ℉).
  • Drain the chillies and reserve the water.
  • Toss the garlic in some oil and place in the oven for 12 minutes or until soft.
  • In a dry pan over high heat lightly toast all the seeds until aromatic and remove them from the pan to a food processor.
  • Process all ingredients until thick.
  • Add 2 tbsp of reserved water.
  • Add 1/3 cup of olive oil (80 ml) and process until smooth.
  • Personally I make about triple this amount as once Iíve made it I tend to put it on everything.
  • It keeps for weeks in a jar, just cover the surface with a little oil and pop it in the fridge.
