Introduce the dish and ingredients.

Use 150 g of fresh red chilies and 1 full bulb of garlic, which can be omitted if desired.

Chop the chilies and mince the garlic.

Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat.

Add minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté until fragrant, without changing color.

Add the chopped red chilies to the pan and mix well.

Add salt to help release moisture from the chilies and garlic.

Gradually add 1/4 cup of water at a time, allowing it to cook down and evaporate.

Repeat adding water until about 3/4 cup has been used, then add 2 tablespoons of vinegar instead of more water.

Lower the heat and mix well after adding vinegar, then turn off the flame.
