Meet Mersang (Chili Paste) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 tablespoons chili powder (bafat powder)
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ginger paste
1 teaspoon garlic paste
3 -4 tablespoons white vinegar, to make a paste of the ingredients (if the vinegar is very strong you can add part water)

First combine all dry ingredients.
Add the pastes and stir a bit.
THen add vinegar a tablespoon at a time until a smooth but thick paste forms (see photo to get an idea).
Store in airtight container in refrigerator and it will last for a long time.
You can marinate fish in this (use a small amount and rub into the fish, marinate a few hrs in the fridge and cook as desired).
