  1. Note: We like it spicy, so the seeds & the membranes of the peppers have been kept intact. If if do not dare to take the heat, use gloves & remove the membranes and the seeds of the peppers.

  2. Lightly toast all the spices in a skillet, till fragrant. Take care that they don’t get overcooked; they will turn bitter. Cool them & dry grind all the toasted spices together.

  3. Combine Hot Chili Peppers, spices, lemon juice & oil together. Toss well. Let it sit for at least a day for all the flavors to combine well.

  4. Serve with Indian/Mediterranean Flat Breads, in Salads, Soups , in Burgers or as a side dish. I love mine as a side with couscous, bulgur, orzo, rice.

  5. To Store: Refrigerate in an air tight non reactive container. Will stay good and fresh for up to a week. The fire mellows as it sits longer.
