Uncommon: mostly from the maker or specialty shops How we score

Rarity is our editors’ score for how hard something is to find in the US and how unusual it is to make: availability (supermarket, specialty shop or maker only), production (small-batch, seasonal, foraged) and how unusual the ingredient or method is.

  1. 1 Familiar twist: easy to find, unusual flavour
  2. 2 Specialty: good grocers and online
  3. 3 Uncommon: mostly from the maker or specialty shops
  4. 4 Rare: small-batch, regional or few stockists
  5. 5 Very rare: tiny batches, foraged or one of a kind

What it tastes like

Crunchy fried garlic and onion bits in a savoury, umami-rich oil with a moderate Guntur chilli warmth.

Why it’s rare

An Indo-fusion take on chilli crisp using slow-roasted Guntur chillies instead of Sichuan-style chillies.
