Crush the garlic in the way that works best for you. I use my garlic press, but you can mince it by hand or use a mortar & pestle. Just please don't grind it to a paste!
Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a small frying pan on medium heat
Add the garlic and saute for a minute and turn the heat down. Add a little more oil if needed, but try to avoid it.
Add the chilli flakes, chilli powder/paprika, and salt.
Cook on low heat for 5 minutes or so watching carefully so that the garlic doesn't burn. Add a little water if needed. Done.
