What is Chipotle Adobado?

It is commonly used ingredient in Mexican cooking. Chipotle is smoked red jalapeno peppers. These are put in adobo sauce which contains some spices, vinegar, tomato sauce and ancho chillies. It gives a unique and tasty flavor to the dish.

I have used SPRIG  Chipotle Adobado. I do want to make a few more dishes with it.  Sprig have a huge range of finest food ingredients, colouring, flavours  and spices in their online store. You can find this product here

Notes

  • Cook on medium flame. I keep a small bowl to stop the steam from escaping.
  • You can follow other methods of cooking also. To make in pressure cooker, follow the same method, and keep the whistle over it.
  • To cook in rice cooker, transfer it to the rice cooker and then add the stock.
