Balancing Heat: When using crushed red pepper, start with a small amount and adjust according to your heat tolerance. For paprika, choose the type that best complements your dish's flavor profile.

Slice the fresh chili peppers thinly. Place into a mortar and pestle along with 2 teaspoons salt. Grind and mix thoroughly with the pestle. You don’t need to form a paste, just break down the peppers slightly.

In addition to producing crushed chili flakes, some factories also produce other chili pepper products such as chili powder, chili paste, and chili sauce. These products are created using a similar process of cleaning, sorting, and grinding the chili peppers, but with different proportions and ingredients to create a unique flavor profile.
