Soak the dried red chilies in hot water for 10 minutes to soften.
Mince the garlic and sauté it in a pan with a little olive oil until fragrant.
Place all the ingredients - the soaked chilies, sautéed garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, coriander seeds, Hungarian sweet paprika, salt, and lemon juice - into a food processor.
Process the mixture until you get a smooth, creamy consistency. If it's too thick, add a little of the chili soaking water.
Transfer the sauce to an airtight jar and store it in the refrigerator. The flavors will meld and intensify over time.
Serve with grilled meats, couscous, or fresh bread.
