Notes
- The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 2 tablespoons.
- If desired, use an immersion blender to blend the sauce into a creamy consistency.
- Ground coriander is a great substitute for cumin. It gives this sauce a mild, slightly floral flavor.
- If you'd rather not chop the chiles and onions, place them in a food processor and pulse briefly. Then add them to the saucepan all at once to saute.
