Who doesn’t love a drizzle of spicy sauces on their food, especially if it is sriracha or one made from Tabasco peppers? But in case you have run out of your favourite chilli sauce, you can turn to red chilli oil which can also help you with that hint of spice. The condiment, which can be had with sandwiches, slices of bread/focaccia or even noodles, is easily available in supermarkets. But there’s nothing like making one at home yourself. So check out the recipe below and add some (hot) flavours to your weekend!
