Red chillies chutney/ Thecha–


 Now winter is here and I just love to eat hot and spicy during this season. So also the season is of fresh hot red chillies. Have this spicy chutney/Thecha (in Marathi) when temperatures are low, I bet you will enjoy the fire of red chillies.

Ingredients -

Fresh red chillies – 1 bowl (approximately 12-15 fresh red chillies)

Garlic pods – ½ bowl

Lime/lemon juice – 2 tb-spoons

Oil – 2 tb-spoons

Mustard seeds – ½ T-spoon

Asafoetida – 1/4th T-spoon

Salt to taste

Procedure –

1.  Take off the stems of chillies.

2.  Add in a mixer grinder red chillies, garlic, lemon/lime juice  and salt.

3.  Take out the pulp in a glass bowl.

4. Heat oil in a small skillet.  Add mustard seeds and asafoetida and turn off the stove.

5. Add seasoning to paste and mix well.

6. Adjust salt and serve with roti, jowar bhakri or white bread.

Note :

You can add curd if you feel this chutney is too hot and can serve as an Indian dip with fries or stir fried vegetables or even for Idli or dosas.
