For best flavor, don’t overfry the garlic—just golden is enough! Switch off the stove before adding chilli powders to avoid bitterness. Use Kashmiri chilli for bright red color without too much heat. Store in an airtight jar for up to 4 days. Tastes amazing with hot rice and ghee, curd rice, or even on toast! You can add crushed peanuts or roasted sesame seeds for extra crunch and depth.
