SHARAN/Chutneys And Dips/Chutneys/Schezwan Sauce
Schezwan Sauce
Ingredients
- 15 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1½” pc ginger, finely chopped
- 6 shallots (sambar onions), minced
- 23 Kashmiri red chillies, soaked in water for half an hour
- 3 Bedgi red chillies/gundu chillies, soaked for half an hour
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or rice wine vinegar
- ¼ cup water
- Unrefined salt to taste
Method
Heat a pan and add garlic and ginger. Sauté on low heat, until fragrant. Be careful not to brown or burn the ginger or garlic.
Add the minced onions and let them cook on low heat. In the meanwhile, discard most of the water used to soak the chillies and grind them with just 2 tbsp water to a paste.
Once the onions look like they are almost melting, add ground chilli paste, soy sauce, vinegar, salt and water.
Bring this to a boil and simmer, until the sauce thickens.
Turn the heat off and let the sauce cool. Once completely cool, transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 15 days.
