Schezwan Sauce

Hello folks..As mentioned in my last post , i am back with the recipe for Schezwan Sauce. Wanted to try this for quite a long time. Whenever i make noodles or manchurian , i always feel that the home-made version of this sauce is always a better choice. If you surf on the net , you will get a lot of versions of the sauce with slight change in the ingredients.So i read 2-3 posts for reference and finally decided to make the sauce. Here comes the recipe:

Ingredients:

• Red Chillies-12
• Chopped Garlic Cloves-1/4 cup
• Chopped Ginger- 2 tblspn
• Oil- 2-3 tblspn
• Soya Sauce -1/2 tspn
• Tomato Ketchup- 1/2 tspn
• Pepper Powder- 1/4 tspn
• Salt to taste
• Water- 1 small katori

 Preparation Time: 10 mins

Cooking Time: 10 mins
