PERFECT Chili Oil Every Time – the trick nobody tells you #chilioil #cooking #shorts

Here’s a simple but precise way to make chili oil at home.
Most people burn the chili or garlic and end up with bitter oil (assuming that is the actual taste). The trick is controlling the heat and blooming the chili correctly – Yes! There is a Chefs’ way to make a perfect #italian Style Chili Oil.

This version keeps the flavors clean and balanced so the oil works beautifully on pizza, pasta, dumplings, noodles, or even roasted vegetables.

Ingredients (For 1 Cup Olive Oil)
• 1 cup olive oil
• 3 tbsp red chili flakes
• 1 tbsp Kashmiri chili powder (or paprika for color)
• 2 garlic cloves (thinly sliced)
• ½ tsp dried oregano (optional)
• ½ tsp salt

Method
1️⃣ Add olive oil and sliced garlic to a pan on low heat.
Let the garlic slowly bubble until pale golden.
2️⃣ Remove the garlic immediately once golden and strain the oil.
3️⃣ Let the oil cool for 30–60 seconds so the chili doesn’t burn.
4️⃣ In a heatproof bowl add:
chili flakes
chili powder
salt
5️⃣ Pour the hot oil slowly over the chili mixture.
It should sizzle gently.
6️⃣ Stir and add oregano while the oil is still warm.
7️⃣ Let the chili oil rest 6–12 hours before using for deeper flavor.

Store in the refrigerator and use within 10–14 days.
