Hello All

i thought i would try some dried chillies, what is the best way to cook with them.

Dried chilies tend not to be used for making a dish all by themselves but are added to other dishes to give them heat !

Where a dish uses chilli powder you can add crushed dry chilli flakes or even stick them in a grinder to make your own chili powder.

It may be possible to rehydrate them by leaving them in water but I would imagine this wouldn't give a great result.

Steve is right, as far as I know. But you have got me thinking. I will try this dish, Carrot Launji, with dry chillies and see how they work. I will use them without the hydration process though.
