Cooking Instructions
- 1
Chop the onions.
- 2
Chop the scallions.
- 3
Chop the cilantro.
- 4
Crush the peanuts. I used a dry grinder, a mortar and pestle can also be used. Using the dry grinder, the peanuts got ground a bit finer than I wanted.
- 5
Slice the ginger and mince it.
- 6
Slice the garlic and mince.
- 7
In a wide bowl, first add the onions.
- 8
Add the scallions next.
- 9
Add the cilantro.
- 10
Next add the crushed peanuts.
- 11
Next add the cumin, coriander and garam masala, lemon juice, sugar and salt. Mix. Keep aside. ✅Note: add half the salt now and you can add as required later.
- 12
Heat the oil and add the ginger, garlic and the Kashmiri red chili powder. (If you don’t want too much heat, do not add the other red chili powder). Temper for 10 seconds. ✅Note: Kashmiri chili powder is known more for its pigment than for heat so it’s perfect for milder chili oil or milder Indian dishes.
- 13
Add the tempered hot oil to the bowl. And mix well.
- 14
Let the flavors blend for 30 minutes to an hour and enjoy.
- 15
Pair with rice and enjoy it like a curry, add to marinades, noodles, rice bowls, and more!

Make Your Own Red Chili and Garlic Oil Make Your Own Red Chili and Garlic Oil
My friend K-mama is a great cook. When I went to her house, she whipped up "Penne Arrabbiata" for lunch, and drizzled some delicious-looking oil over her pasta. I don't really like spicy food, but I tried the oil, and it was so good! She told me the oil was homemade, so I asked her the ingredients straight away! Thank you, K-mama!I don't like spicy food, but the spiciness of this oil was mild enough for me using this amount of chili peppers. If you like spicy food, add more to taste. I asked only the ingredients, so I don't know the exact amount of each ingredient. Sorry!If anyone knows how long this oil should be kept, please let me know! Recipe by +pocopoco+

Cowboy Chili (for the Slow Cooker) Cowboy Chili (for the Slow Cooker)
Many years ago, a potluck dinner party guest brought this chili. After the first bite, I asked for the recipe! If you follow the recipe as is, you’ll end up with a chili that has a low to moderate heat that sneaks up on you (as a slow burn). It’s fantastic for the colder months. It’s designed to feed a crowd, but you can also freeze it.🌟NOTE: you will need a slow cooker with a minimum 6 quart capacity.If you don’t have a slow cooker, you will need a very large pot with a lid and patience to keep an eye on the chili and stir it occasionally as it simmers for at least 2 hours.#Texas #Spicy #Dinner #Autumn #Fall #Winter #ComfortFood
