Chef's tip
If you are using dried chillies, soak them for 30 minutes in boiled water before removing the stalks and chopping. If you are uncertain as to how hot this dish will be for you, don't add the seeds, reserve them, taste the sauce after 15 minutes and add them if you need more heat. Wear rubber gloves when handling chillies.
