Sequel’s are in fashion in Bollywood and I don’t want to be left behind especially since most of the recent sequel’s have been hits!
This is a sequel to the Red Chili Chutney (Spice it up 1) –Red Chili Thecha (Spice it up 2)
The Protagonist is the same- Fiery Hot Red Chili Pepper, the treatment is a bit different and the leading lady J has changed!From the mildly flavoured,sweet Onion now it’s the strong flavoured and pungent Garlic.And since it is Garlic, I have roasted it before making the Thecha!
So here’s one more recipe Red Chili Thechato spice up the Valentine’s Day!
Ingredients
- 8 - 10 Chili Peppers large Red washed and stems removed
- 5 - 6 cans garlic garlic as shown in the photo alternatively you use 5-6 garlic bulbs small fresh bulbs (I have used fresh green as shown in the photo alternatively you use 5-6 cloves
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt as per taste
For the Tadka:
- 2 tsps oil
- 1 tsp Mustard seeds
- pinch of hing
Servings: cup
Instructions
- Roast the Chili peppers directly on a low Flame.(Pierce a fork in each Pepper and Roast it.)
- Similarly Roast the Garlic bulbs.If you donu2019t have the patience to roast each Pepper and garlic bulb chop the peppers and garlic bulbs and roast them in a pan with 1 tsp oil.
- Cool the peppers and garlic.
- Pound together the Red pepper and garlic to a coarse paste adding salt as required in a mortar and pestle. You can also coarsely grind it in a mixer. I prefer the taste using Mortar and pestle.
- Remove the Thecha in a bowl and add lemon juice. Mix properly.
- Heat oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds.
- Once they splutter add the hing and pour this over Thecha.
- Mix well and serve with Bhakri or Paratha or Roti.
- This Thecha can stay upto 1 month if refrigerated but then who wants to keep it for a month!
Fiery looking Chutney,love it.Thanks!:))
