Mazavaroo

Mazavaroo is a traditional chili paste originating from Mauritius. It's made with a combination of hot chili peppers (red, green, or both), garlic, lime or lemon juice, salt, oil, and optional ingredients such as ginger, cinnamon, vinegar, cumin, and turmeric, if desired.

The ingredients are blended or ground with a pestle, and the paste is then often shortly stir-fried in oil. This hot concoction is traditionally used as a condiment with pasta dishes, grilled fish, rice, or shisa nyama (grilled meat).
