You need:
Dried chillies (300g)
Hot water
2 tablespoons of palm oil
1 teaspoon of coarse salt

How to:
1) Firstly soak the dried chillies with hot water for 6-8 minutes
2) Then, you have to drain it
3) Place it into the blender and add oil and some water (put reasonably amount of water, fair enough for the blender to operate smoothly, don't add too much !)
4) Let it cool for about half an hour to 45 minutes
5) Keep it into bottles or any kind of food container (make sure air tight)
6) Finally sprinkles some coarse salt on it

DONE! easy huh?
