Red Chile Sauce
                     my recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup  diced onion
1   clove  garlic
1   Tbsp  flour (for thickening)
4   Tbsp  prepared red chile powder
1   cup   water
1/2 to 1 tsp cominos
1/4 tsp  dry cilantro

    salt to taste
    oil for sauteing

Mix water and red chile powder in bowl and set aside.  Saute onion
and garlic in heavy pan, using a small amount of oil.  When nearly
translucent, blend in flour with spoon, making thick, oniony paste. 
Keep stirring, as the flour-onion-garlic mixture will crust up and
stick to the pan and burn.  Add water and red chili and bring to 
a boil. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes.  Salt to taste.

I sometimes add one beef bouillon cube to this mixture.  Gives a 
slightly richer flavor when I'm doing beef dishes.

If you have red chiles (as in a ristra) then just stem them and
grind 'em up to make your own powder.
