Remove the stems and seeds from the dried chili peppers and soak the peppers in hot water (wash your hands thoroughly afterward to remove any remaining heat!). In the meantime, finely crush the garlic cloves with half the salt in a mortar and pestle, scrape them out of the mortar, and set aside. Then add the drained peppers to the mortar and grind them into a smooth paste with the remaining salt. Add them to the crushed garlic. Crush the coriander and cumin together in a mortar and pestle to a powder. Add the garlic and chili, drizzle with a little olive oil, and mix everything well. Add olive oil until the sauce is thickened, then mix well. It will keep almost indefinitely in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
