Chilli flowers add an elegant touch to all your Thai dishes, as well as vegetable platters. They're a great party garnish and instantly brighten up any dish. Follow the instructions below to make your own.
You will need a pair of latex or rubber gloves, some fresh chillies, a sharp knife, and a deep bowl of ice-cold water. Be sure to choose chillies with thin skin and not too thick in circumference.
Put on a pair of rubber or latex gloves to protect your hands from the pungent chilli seeds and oil (otherwise later you might burn your eyes or lips).
Holding the chilli firm on a cutting board, make a cut from the tip of the chilli to the base. Do not cut through the entire chilli - only the side facing you.
Now turn the chilli slightly, and repeat, making another cut down the length of the chilli
