THECHA

This is a maharashtrian peasant recipe. It is very, very hot and I do not recommend it if you are not used to eating chillies and peppers. Even my fiancé can’t handle it. any who, this recipe has very little ingredients and is cheap to make. Once made it easily keeps for at least 3 days. More if refrigerated.  

Ingredients:-

• Green chillies
•   Garlic
•    Salt
•    Oil

Preparation:-

·        Take 4-5 green chillies and around 6-7 cloves of garlic and roughly grind them in a mixer.

·        Heat oil in a pan and add the mixture to it.

·        Sauté for about 2 mins and add salt to taste

·        Serve with jowar/ bajra roti(bhakri) or dal-rice

Note: while grinding the chillies and garlic you can add groundnuts to the mixture. Then in pan heat oil, add mustard seed and after they crackle add the mixture. Sauté till brown and crispy. This thecha keeps longer and does not need refrigeration.
