Chilli Garlic Dip– Prepared with dry red chillies and garlic cloves combined with vinegar and a few sauces. I have also added a bit of honey to balance the chilli factor of this dip.
It is an ideal accompaniment for momos/ spring -rolls but can pair well with many other dishes as well.
Chilli garlic dip can be prepared in just a few minutes if you are ready with soaked red chillies. You can also prepare and store this dip for a week.
