Why use dry chilly peppers and not the fresh red eye chili peppers ?
  • I've tried cleaning fresh red eye chili peppers and i can only point out that its messy and painful on your fingers when held by hand. There is no cure to eliminating the pain as suggested in the net. Believe me I've tried and tested all remedies and none of it works. Once you feel the pain on your fingers it will stay there for days. Plastic gloves work but boy was it difficult to handle.
  • To eliminate all the hassle I use dry chili flakes and solved that problem plus it tasted better.
  • fresh is definitely hot, but you get the same effect using dry chili flakes
  • you can quickly prepare dry chili flakes, simply scoop it out of the container.
  • its cheaper than fresh red eye chilies and its found in all grocery stores

Why use fresh finely chopped garlic and not the dry granulated one?
  • You can use granulated garlic, I've seen some fast food restaurants use it but i don't get the same flavor as the natural one
  • That Garlic flavor your looking for is in the fresh finely chopped garlic
  • you can't get the same paste like texture when you cook with dry granulated garlic
