Chop the peppers. I leave all the seeds in, and also chop the ginger and garlic cloves. Chop these ingredients in a food processor, then add the salt and grind it in. Spread the salt mixture on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and let it dry in the oven at 30°C (max. 50°C) for 30-60 minutes. Wedge a wooden spoon in the door to allow the moisture to escape. You can also air-dry it on the radiator. This takes a few days. Loosen the dried salt with a rolling pin or mortar and pestle and pour it into sealable containers.
