Recipe

Ingredients

  • Chili peppers (1-2, chopped): Provides heat and forms the base of many spicy dishes.
  • Cumin (1 teaspoon): Adds warmth and earthiness to the flavor profile.
  • Garlic (3 cloves, minced): Enhances the savoriness and balances the spice.
  • Coconut milk (1 cup): Cools down the spiciness in curries or sauces, adding creaminess.
  • Fresh herbs (cilantro, mint): Complements the heat with a refreshing contrast​

Instructions

  1. Prepare the aromatics: Heat oil in a pan and sauté garlic, chili, and cumin for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Build the base: Add coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes to combine the flavors and reduce the heat.
