Thai Demon Relish, also known as Nam Prik Narok, is a popular condiment in Thailand. It's made from Thai Red Demon peppers and garlic, which are pounded together with salt and rice vinegar to create a fiery and flavorful relish. This relish is commonly paired with grilled meat and vegetables, or used as a dipping sauce. This relish is not for the faint of heart, as the Thai peppers used in the recipe are some of the spiciest in the world. However, if you're a fan of heat, this relish is a great way to add flavor and excitement to your meals.

3.	Serve with your favorite dish for an extra kick of heat!
