Fresh Red Chilli Oil

#cookpadindia #easy #condiment Chilli Oil is a Condiment made from Vegetable oil that has been infused with Red Chillies or Chilli flakes or both and also Green Chillies or Peppers too. In this particular one, I have used just fresh Red Chillies available aplenty nowadays throughout the markets in the Country. I have not used any other Pepper. Chilli Oil is commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisines, Chinese cuisines and elsewhere too. This is used with any neutral oil, like Peanut oil but also works absolutely fine with Olive oil too. I have used Rice bran oil in this recipe that iam sharing here. Chilli oil usually adds a touch of spice without being too fiery. It is largely used for Pastas, Noodles etc. It's used as Condiment to dip in or drizzle over Salads, Soups, Braises, Grilled Red Meats and Vegetables too. It contains an antioxidant called Capsaicin that neutralizes free radicals in the body and lowers the risk of chronic diseases. Chilli Oil also has Vitamin C which stimulates the Immune system. It has expectorant and decongestant properties too which can clear up Sinus congestion. It also is a good source of Protein and rich in Vitamins like A, E, D and K. But like with any other food, over consumption can lead to adverse effects. So be careful about that and have it in controlled amounts.
