CHILLI PEANUT DIP

Red Chillies, or any chillies can light your mouth and throat on fire but that same chilli can help ease your pain too. The capsaicin found in chillies is naturally anti-inflammatory. The hotter the chilli, the more potent the capsaicin. I guess that is a bonus since chilli can enhance flavor of any food. In other words, I eat it for the flavor yum! Adding the red chillies to my peanut sauce makes it perfect for dipping veggies or nuggets or whatever you want to dip. It makes snacking on veggies a delicious experience.

INGREDIENTS
1-2 Red Chillies, Dry
1 Cup Peanuts, Raw (no shell)
1-2 Cloves Garlic
1/2 Cup Onion, Sauteed
1/4 Tsp Tamarind Paste
Salt to taste

PROCESS
1. Roast the peanuts in a pan. Keep stirring constantly to avoid burning them. No oil needed.
2. When they begin to brown slightly, take them off the heat and let them cool.
3. Peel the shell/skin off of the peanuts after they cool and throw in food processor.
4. Add the remaining ingredients and let the food processor do its magic. 
5. Serve in a bowl with your favorite veggies for dipping.

TIP
You can always add 1 red chilli and go from there on how potent you want the dip to be.
Experiment with other varieties of chilli peppers and see how it changes the flavor.
