There is a specific kind of dish that is good, and then there is the version with a little extra something sprinkled on top that makes people stop mid-bite and ask what it is. More often than not, that something is crushed red chilli.
Unlike fine chilli powder, which blends completely into a dish, crushed red chilli holds its texture. You see it, you feel it, and it releases little bursts of heat and smoky flavour as you eat. That is exactly why it is such a popular finishing touch on everything from pizza to dahi baray. Ayat Food's Red Chilli Crushed is made from sun-dried, premium quality red chillies, coarsely crushed to keep that texture and aroma intact.
A dish where the topping makes the difference
Spicy tomato penne with crushed red chilli
- 250g penne pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 cup tomato sauce or chopped tomatoes
- 1 tsp Ayat Food Red Chilli Crushed
- Extra crushed chilli for topping
- Salt to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil, chopped
Cook the pasta according to package instructions and set aside. In a pan, heat olive oil and gently fry the garlic until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Add the tomato sauce, a pinch of salt, and the red chilli crushed, and let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce until well coated. Plate it up, and right before serving, sprinkle a generous pinch of crushed red chilli over the top along with fresh herbs.
It works just as well on dahi baray, samosas, soups, or even avocado toast if you are feeling adventurous.
