 Categories: Sri lanka, Chiles, Appetizers
      Yield: 24 servings
 
     24    Dried cayenne
           Or japone chiles
      4 tb Salt
      1 qt Water
           Oil
 
  Make a brine from the salt and water. Soak the chiles for an hour in
  the brine. Heat a good quantity of oil. When it's very hot, deep fry
  the chiles until they are crisp. Drain, salt and serve.
  
  This is the simplest way to fix dried chiles. I am told it is eaten
  as a snack at movie theaters in Sri Lanka. Since I've never been
  there, I don't know if it's true. -- David Cook WALT
