If your sauce comes out brown that's not authentic!.
You need to buy some chili pods!. Then you rinse them very good with hot water!. Then you need to take out all the seeds out!.
In a large pot throw in all the chiles along with warm water!.
Put a head of garlic along with half an onion and 4TB spoons of salt!.
Cook for 40 min
When done put all the chiles in the blender then add some of the water that you cooked it in!.
Blend for about 5 mins you may need to blend more!.
Taste the chile it may need more salt because chile needs alot of flavoring!.
*If you don't use all the chile you can freeze for up to 3 months and just re-heat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
