You can purchase dried Thai chilli from Asian grocery store. Please note: this is the hot variety.

Step 1: Put the amount of dried chilli that you required into a dry pan.

Step 2: Turn stove on to "low" heat setting, as you don't want to burn the chilli. The low setting allow the dried chilli to be roasted evenly.

Step 3: Use chopsticks or a wooden spoon to stir the chilli frequently to get an even roasting.

Step 4: After about 5 to 10 minutes, the colour should look like this. Turn off heat and continue stirring the chilli for about 1-2 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 5: Once the roasted chilli are cooled, put in a blender. Depending on how fine you want your chilli to be, I prefer mine to be fine (but not too powdery) so I set it to high.







Step 6: After about 30-45 seconds of blending, I got the texture like this.

Step 7: Store the grounded chilli in an airtight container.

I hope you enjoy!!!
