The hot sauce thread

Nice one mate, cheers. Actually, the ingredients are pretty close to a few I've tried to conjure up myself with varying success. Mine became much spicier and tastier when I switched to bird eye chilli's.

Good man. Bird's eyes are a good general all rounder for me like. Sometimes you don't need the heat of its big brothers. Defo try that naga chilli pickle mind. Adds another dimension to the hot sauce.
 


There's two types I make. A thin one or a thick one with a tomato and coriander base (a bit like a chilli and herb relish/salsa).

This is for thick one. For thin one just don't do the tomato and onion base.
In the blender chuck in (change quantities to suit taste)
Some tomatoes
Some onions
Loads of coriander
A few birdeyes chillis
A pinch of salt
A pinch of heinz ketchup
Pinch of red chilli powder
A pinch of smoked pakrika
A few teaspoons of schirca or any chinease chilli paste
A couple of teaspoons of naga chilli pickle.

This is the naga pickle you can pick up from anywhere.

I have made about 4 batches of chilli sauce recently, the best one by some distance had fresh roasted tomatoes and fresh coriander, quite a fan of fresh coriander

Love fresh coriander like. Would have it on me cornflakes if the missus let's us.

Roasted tomatoes eh? Not a bad shout that like. I'm definitely going to try that on my next batch.
 
I was given a bottle of hot sauce that my brother brought back from Eleuthera in the Caribbean years ago called Pirates' Revenge. It was lovely and fired off my interest in hot sauces. I found Pain Is Good on the internet while searching for Pirates' Revenge. Then I started growing Habanero peppers to make my own Pain Is Good. And it was bloody good, but not quite as good as the real sauce.

Really you should try it, it's great.
I use Mr Naga a lot, hoy it in everything. Got a really nice taste as well as heat, a spoonful in a curry gives it a nice lift. Used to buy the Pain is Good ones years ago, haven't had it for a while, might have to get some.

Mr Naga is lush. It's so good that some Indian restaurants/takeaways list it as an ingredient in their Naga curries rather than listing Naga Jolokia pepper.

As an aside, if you like hot curry, a really good ingredient is dried whole Naga chiles ground to a powder. I use an electric coffee bean grinder which I also use to grind whole black peppercorns.

The ground naga powder gives a curry one hell of a kick which is natural and not chemically-tasting like chile extract superhot sauces like Dave's Insanity Sauce.

You can but whole dried Nagas on t'internet. Remember to clean your grinder very thoroughly before grinding anything else in it!!
