Thesa/ Thecha/ hari mirch chutney

 

#thecha #greenchilly #chutney #bhakrikesaath #harimirch

Ingredients: 1/2 tbsp oil, 2 tsp cumin seeds, 8-10 green chillies (preferably light green as they are medium spicy but if you like very hot then you may opt for #lavangi #mirchi as well), 1 tbsp of roasted and skinned peanuts, 1 tbsp of fresh coriander, 4-5 garlic cloves, salt to taste  

Preparation Time: 10 min (serves up to 15)

Recipe:

 1. Heat a pan or kadhai and add the oil to it. To this, add the cumin seeds, garlic cloves and green chilly. Parch it for 3-4 min on medium flame till the color of the chilly changes.

2. Turn of the gas and while still hot, add the coriander leaves to it. Let the mixture cool a bit (say for a minute or two)

3. Shift the mixture to a mixer pot and grind it to coarse paste (as shown in the pic). Instead of mixer pot, you may also beat the mixture with mortar and pestle (i.e. khalbatta). The latter gives an awesome taste but is time consuming. 

4. To the paste, add salt to taste and use it as a supplement with #jowar #bhakris #dashmi #parathas

Tip: If you eat less spicy food, it is recommended to use only 2-3 green chillies and in its lieu use a green capsicum.
