Schezwan Sauce

For the second day of condiments then on the Buffet on Table I am going to post a sauce recipe fro Schezwan cuisine. Schezwan cuisine is popular in India too, may be because of it's spicy flavors Schezwan cuisine is my favorite. I thought I can make this sauce and store it for long time.So I used little more oil to store the sauce for long time, but every one at home liked the flavors of this sauce and we finished it with in two weeks. If you want to make it fresh every time so reduce the ingredients quantity.
