About This Recipe
A hot and spicy sauce is a must, whenever I make Indo Chinese starters at home and this Green Chilli sauce is the latest one to join the favorite bandwagon. Perfectly spicy, this sauce will make any dish irresistible.
Many of us buy green chilli sauce from the market, even I did the same for many years. But since I have tried making it at home, there is no looking back.
You must be thinking this sauce is difficult to prepare at home, but let me tell you this one is the easiest sauce you can make freshly from green chilies and some other basic ingredients.
Also, when you are making it at home, you can always control the heat. You can either use less spicy chilies or deseed the chilies if you want the sauce to be less spicy.
I will always suggest you wear gloves while handling chilies, as they may cause burn in your hands.
This Chilli Sauce is,
- Versatile
- Easy + Quick
- Vegan
- Gluten-Free
- Yummy
Ingredients

Green Chillies – You can use any green chilies, that are easily accessible to you. You can remove the seeds from the chilies if you like the sauce to be less spicy.
Ginger & Garlic – These two ingredients add a great flavor and much-required heat along with green chilies. Peel and finely chop them to use in the recipe.
Vinegar – You can use white vinegar for this sauce. It is easily available in grocery stores. You can even use lemon juice instead of vinegar to add that tart and sour flavor to the sauce.
Salt, Sugar, and Water – To further add more flavor, we will add in salt, sugar and to cook the sauce, we will need water.

Usage Suggestions
I use this sauce to make Indo Chinese starters like Gobi Manchurian, Chilli Chicken, Hakka Noodles, Fried Rice, Chilli Prawns, etc. You can add it in curries also.
Serve it on the side as a dip with your starters. I like to serve it especially with French Fries or Potato Wedges.

I tried this but when I tasted it after straining…it was very bitter…any idea why?.

Sorry to hear Melwee. It could be the chilies. If they are old, the sauce could taste bitter.
