• Storage: Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Let it come to room temperature before using, or reheat gently over medium heat to restore consistency.
• Heat Level: Start with a mild or medium hot sauce as your base, and adjust spice level to taste. Add extra hot sauce or red pepper flakes if you want more kick.
• Garlic Substitution: If you don’t have garlic paste, finely mince fresh garlic or use roasted garlic for a more mellow flavor. Garlic powder can work in a pinch—start with ½ teaspoon and adjust to taste.
