I prefer to make my own sauce as it tastes better than jarred stuff and it doesn't contain any preservatives or other 'chemicals'

Preparation

  1. Grill the peppers, turning regularly, until the skin is blackened, then leave to cool
  2. Toast the whole spices and then grind together into powder
  3. Finely dice the onion, garlic and chillis
  4. Microwave the 3onion for around 2 mins to soften
  5. Peel the peppers, then halve them and remove the seeds and pith
  6. Put the onions and peppers into a blender and blend until smooth.
  7. Add the remaining ingredients (except the oil) and blend into a smooth paste. Add the oil at the end to help create a smooth paste.

Notes
