Chilly oil 

Ingredients :-

100 gms dried spicy red chillies(Baedgi , kumti,Deghi )
( remove stems , chop them fine & keep aside )
1 litre sunflower oil (heat oil to boiling point and then cool it completely before using it in this recipe to avoid chances of botulism in the oil )

1 funnel

1 glass jar + bottle .

2 bay leaves

1 tablespoon of black peppercorns

Method :-

In a food grinder , grind the bay leaves, peppercorns ,chillies and the oil together until it has blended well .

Now transfer the chillies and oil mixture into a wide mouthed glass jar (meant for pickles)

place the glass pickle jar in a cool dark place away from direct heat and sunlight for about 2 weeks .

(Filtering the oil is optional ) If u wish to you can also Filter through a tea strainer into a funnel and then into a sterilised empty glass bottle and your spicy chilly oil is ready to use .
(dont not discard the filtered chilly pieces , u can reuse them in daals and gravies )

u can use this chilly infused oil like regular oil to make soups , omlettes , bhurji , fry chicken kebabs, douse it on your pizzas and sandwiches , brush ur parathas with it . use it in ur gravies and stews . the possibilities are endless and the flavor is simply amazing .
