Sri Lanka Fried Chiles

24 Dried cayenne

Or japone chiles

4 tb Salt

1 qt WaterOil

Make a brine from the salt and water. Soak the chiles for an hour inthe brine. Heat a good quantity of oil. When it's very hot, deep frythe chiles until they are crisp. Drain, salt and serve.

This is the simplest way to fix dried chiles. I am told it is eatenas a snack at movie theaters in Sri Lanka.
