3/4-Cup Sugar

1 tbsp Cornflour

Take dry chillies in a bowl. Cover it with boiling water and let it soak for 10 minutes.

Now take soaked chillies in a blender along with water. Add in sugar, garlic, salt and vinegar in this. Blend it to a puree. Pour this in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Boil this for 10 minutes on a low heat so that the flavors will infuse together.

Now mix cornflour with 2 tbsp of water. Pour this over the sauce and mix well. It will start thickening.
