Method

Deseed the dry red chillies as shown.

Soak the red chillies in hot water for about 30 minutes.

Drain the water and add the red chillies to the mixer jar and grind it to fine paste with required water. Keep it ready.

Peel the garlic cloves, ginger and chop them to fine pieces. Heat ¼ cup of oil in a pan, add chopped garlic and ginger.

Saute the garlic and ginger really well until the raw smell vanishes and turn to light golden color.

Now add the ground chilli paste and saute well for about a minute.

Add ½ cup of water to the mixer jar, wash all the red chillies paste and add it to the pan. Mix everything really well.

Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until all the raw smell has vanished and oil starts to float.

At this stage, add ½ tsp of black pepper powder, 2 tbsp of soya sauce, 2 tbsp of vinegar, 1 tbsp of sugar and required salt.

Mix everything really well and cook on low flame for about 1-2 minutes or until everything is well combined.

Schezwan sauce is ready, now switch off the stove.

Delicious, spicy and super tempting Schezwan Sauce is ready to be enjoyed. You can serve them as dip for Chips or Fries or you can use them to make Schezwan Noodles, Schezwan Fried Rice with Homemade Schezwan Sauce

Suggestions:

You can add chopped shallots about 4-5 along with garlic and sauté them until they turn translucent.

If Sichuan Peppers are available then you can crush them and add it when making the sauce.

I have used Kashmiri Chillies for the bright color, it is totally optional.

I have deseeded the Dry red chillies, if you want the Schezwan sauce to be spicy, deseeding can be avoided.

I have used dark soya sauce, you can replace it with light soya sauce.
