How to Make Curry Hot Sauce?

Step 1:

Start by heating some vegetable oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Carefully add the finely chopped onions and minced garlic to the pan. Cook them gently, until the onions look see-through and the garlic smells so good. This will take about 5 minutes.

Step 2:

Now, it’s time to add the spices! Put in the curry powder, turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground ginger, salt, sugar, and cayenne pepper. Stir everything together so the onions and garlic get covered with the spices. Keep cooking and stirring for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 3:

Next, add the tomato paste to the saucepan. Stir it well with the onions, garlic, and spices. Cook for about 2 more minutes.

Step 4:

Now, pour in the white vinegar and water. Stir everything together until it’s well mixed. Turn up the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat so it simmers gently. Let it cook like this for about 20 minutes.

Step 5:

After the sauce has simmered and thickened, take it off the heat. Let it cool down a bit. Then, pour the sauce into your blender and Blend it until it’s completely smooth.

Step 6:

Finally, pour the smooth hot sauce into your glass jars. Let the sauce cool down completely before you seal the jars. Store your yummy curry hot sauce in the refrigerator. It will stay good for up to 1 month.

some Tips!

• If you like your sauce less spicy, use less cayenne pepper. If you want more, add more cayenne or even a fresh chili pepper, that’s what usually I do.
• Also, I add sometimes some honey for a little bit of sweetness.
• If you prefer, you can use fresh tomatoes instead of tomato paste. Just cook them down longer to make sure the sauce is thick enough.

How to Store Leftovers?

Store any leftover curry hot sauce in the refrigerator in a container with a tight lid. It will stay good for up to 1 month. Always use a clean spoon to take out the sauce so it stays fresh.
