While it’s packed with flavors that dance on your taste buds, it’s also known to give your digestive system a little jolt — so be prepared for a fast trip to the bathroom. Perfect for those who enjoy an intense kick of heat and bold flavors, this recipe is sure to satisfy any craving for spice. If you’re ready to turn up the heat, let’s get started!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon black salt (or regular salt)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey (for a touch of sweetness)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, grated
1/2 cup water (adjust for desired consistency)
Directions:
Prepare the base: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chili powder, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, and black salt. Mix the dry spices together to make a base.
Add the liquids: Pour in the fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and honey into the spice mix. Stir until well combined. The honey helps to balance the heat with a slight sweetness, while the vinegar gives it a tangy edge.
Incorporate garlic and ginger: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the mixture. These aromatic ingredients will enhance the depth of flavor and add an extra layer of complexity.
Adjust consistency: Slowly add water, a little at a time, until you achieve your desired consistency. You can make it a bit thicker for a paste-like texture or thinner if you want it to be more of a sauce.
Taste test and tweak: Taste the mixture and adjust to your liking. If you want it spicier, add more cayenne or chili powder. If it’s too hot, a little extra honey or water can tone it down.
Serve immediately: This concoction is best served fresh and used as a condiment or a side dish. Pair it with your favorite proteins, or use it to spice up any meal that could use a little heat!
Presentation and Storage Tips:
Serving: This fiery concoction is often used as a dipping sauce or a spicy drizzle over grilled meats, tacos, or roasted vegetables. It pairs wonderfully with bland dishes that need a heat boost.
Storage: Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. The flavors tend to intensify as it sits, so it's even more potent the next day! If you notice the consistency has thickened too much after refrigerating, just add a little water or vinegar to loosen it up.
