This is a Dhifoods recipe for chilli paste.
Ingredients: 300 g dried chillies, washed and pounded, 100 g onion finely chopped, 25 g garlic chopped small, 1 cup fish (hard dried fish, finely ground), 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup ordinary sugar, a little salt, and a little oil.
Method: First put the pan on the stove. When it is hot, add the onion and garlic. When the onion turns red, add the chillies and salt. When well cooked, add the soy sauce and the sugar and cook well on low heat. This paste is made using quite a lot of oil, because it is something kept for many days.
