For a quick \"Chilli Oil\" drizzle, heat a tablespoon of oil until shimmering, turn off the heat, and stir in a teaspoon of flakes; the residual heat draws out the deep red colour and smoky aroma without burning the seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCulinary Versatility:\u003c\/b\u003e A fundamental ingredient for authentic Italian Arrabbiata sauces, spicy stir-fries, and dry meat rubs.

From the vibrant street foods of South Asia to the rustic kitchens of the Mediterranean, they are celebrated for their ability to preserve the raw, sun-baked essence of the harvest throughout the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStorage \u0026amp; Care:\u003c\/b\u003e To maintain the vibrant red colour and sharp heat, store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Keep the flakes away from direct sunlight and steam; if exposed to moisture, the chillies can lose their characteristic \"crunch\" and the heat profile may mellow prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Top Op","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56836865294684,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/2183\/6124\/files\/top-op-crushed-chilli-flakes-400g-ground-spices-337.webp?v=1788177974","url":"https:\/\/gopalgrocers.co.uk\/products\/top-op-crushed-chillies-400g","provider":"Gopal Indian Grocers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
