How to make chilli oil without garlic?
You can find this easy, no-fuss chili oil recipe video below, but here is a quick overview of the procedure:
There’s really no strict right or wrong way to make chilli oil. This is just how I like to prepare mine; it keeps well and is so handy to have around. A drizzle instantly boosts the flavour of any dish!
The first step is to gently heat the oil in a pan on low until it’s hot but not smoking. Turn off the heat.
Carefully add the chilli flakes to the hot oil. Stir gently. You’ll notice a lovely sizzle and the deep aroma of toasted chillies.
Let it cool completely. Pour into a clean, dry glass jar. Seal and store in a cool place. That’s it, your homemade chili oil with two ingredients is ready to spice up your life!
Storage
- Cool the oil completely before sealing it to prevent its condensation.
- Use a clean, dry, airtight glass jar to store the oil, as glass is the best because it doesn’t react with the oil or spices.
- This homemade no-garlic chili oil lasts for more than a month at room temperature.
Serving Suggestions
- Toss with pumpkin rice, noodles, momos, and dumplings.
- Drizzle over pizzas, avocado toast, scrambled eggs, and egg masala.
- Add a few drops to your salad dressing for a warm heat that balances the freshness of the greens.
- Swirl into butternut squash soup, vegetables, curried green peas, and white lentils.
- Brush on grilled meat or paneer for a quick marinade booster or as a finishing oil.
- Add this to meat curries like ghee bhuna chicken, butter chicken, and curry cut chicken masala to give a beautiful colour and flavour.
Tips
- Avoid overheating the oil, as it will burn the chilli flakes
- Always use a dry spoon to scoop it out to keep the oil fresh for longer.
