- Allow to cool.
- Remove skin from capsicum and chillies, and seeds from capsicum.
- Clean garlic (or if it's soft enough, you could just squeeze the flesh out).
- Toast cumin, caraway, and celery over high heat until fragrant (circa 1 min).
- Grind in mortar & pestle (only way to get the right consistency) until slightly gritty.
- Add all ingredients in blender and blitz until you have a smooth paste.
