Hari Mirchi ka Thecha is a Maharashtrian Condiment which is made up with green chillies, garlic,peanuts qad salt. This is simple chutney recipe but so flavourful and very spicy 😬 and specially served with Bhakri, Jowar roti.
At my home, this is my husband most favourite chutney recipe. We used to serve with any stuffed parathas or simply amazing with dal chaawal.
This is the first time I made this green chilli thecha, by seeing the recipe of Chef Ranbeer Brar, as he added many spices in it. I added few simple spices according to our taste. This chutney is locally called hirvi mirchi cha thecha.
The spiciness from the green chili peppers and the extra punch from garlic and peanuts made it an instant favorite. Since that day, I had tried it, it’s been our regular favourite chutney 😬 I often make it at home to serve as a side dish, as it just simply amazing with my everyday meals.
You can use any varieties of chilli in this chutney. My chillies are so hot 🥵 and spicy. You can use light green variety of chilies that are milder in their spice level.
