Sichuan Chilli Sauce | Easy Homemade Sichuan Sauce | Sichuan Paneer | Sichuan Peppers



Sichuan Chilli Sauce makes amazing number of recipes made using Sichuan Peppecorns. This variation of pepper can be just used like black pepper powder but gives that nice zing as well as a flavorful spiciness to the recipe. Attempted making a Chindian style sauce to suit our liking. Used Kashmiri Chillies for the color and Long Red Chillies for the Spiciness along with Sichuan Peppers.
