Start by thoroughly washing the red chilies and drying them with a towel. Remove the green stalks or stems.

Add the cleaned chilies to a blender along with garlic, vinegar, brown sugar, water, oil, and a pinch of salt.

Secure the blender lid tightly and blend the ingredients on high until the mixture is completely smooth, ensuring a uniform texture throughout the sauce.

Carefully remove the jar from the blender. Open the lid and pour the smooth chili-garlic mixture into a saucepan.

Place it over medium heat. To capture any remaining sauce, add a little water to the blender, swirl it around, and then pour this into the pan.

Allow it to simmer gently for 7 to 10 minutes to help the flavors blend and intensify.

Remove the pan from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature.
