How to make it
- Be careful when you handle any kind of chile peppers. They contain capsicum oils which can burn your skin and especially your eyes. Avoid direct contact as much as possible. Many cooks wear rubber gloves while handling chilies, or generously grease your fingers with any kind of shortening (even the cooking sprays can help). Whatever else you do wash your hands two or three times with plenty of soap and COLD water after playing with chilies; hot water just opens your pours so more capsicum can get in.
