3 	Grind the soaked mixture with chili powder and salt coarsely, without adding much water.

4 	Ferment for about 3 - 4 hours, then refrigerate or freeze.

5 	In cold weather, the fermenting process might take longer, and it might be a good idea to ferment in an oven (the pilot light will keep the mixture warm).
