Method

Warm the olive oil, gently. Do not heat it.

Let the garlic cloves cook in it, on the lowest flame, until soft (about 25 to 30 minutes).

Once cool, blend with the chilli powder and lemon juice. Add salt to taste.

Your spicy garlic preserve or confit is ready. Bottle and keep. It will stay in the freezer for a month. Works well on everything from roasted potatoes to chaat.
