Bake dried chilies in a rimmed pan in a 250u00b0 oven until fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Cool briefly, then break off and discard stems. Shake out and discard seeds. Place chilies in a bowl and pour 1 cup boiling water over them. Let stand until soft, about 10 minutes.

With a slotted spoon, transfer soaked chilies to a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth, adding about 3 tablespoons of the soaking water to blend smoothly. Discard remaining water.
