Yield 1⅓ cup

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup sunflower or other neutral oil
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
¼ cup sesame seeds
2 Tbsp. black mustard seeds
4 tsp. cumin seeds
1 Tbsp. pink peppercorns, lightly crushed
1 Tbsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 tsp. kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat oil, garlic, sesame seeds, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, pink peppercorns, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium-high until oil is sizzling and bubbling, about 2 minutes.
