We have always been eating coriander, mint and peanut chutney. But if you want to try something new, then today we have a very special and delicious Marathi Thecha recipe. Spicy Thecha made from green chillies is very tasty. You can use it as a side dish like chutney. My mother has been making Thecha for years, and we all like it very much. I also tried its recipe, it is so tasty that I keep licking my fingers. So why don’t you also try it, I have shared the easiest recipe of preparing mother’s Thecha with all of you. So let’s know how to make it.

Green Chilli Thecha Recipe

To make this you need

50 g hot green chillies (about 25)
1.5 tbsp garlic (about 15 medium-sized cloves)
1/4 cup roasted peanuts (about 35 grams)
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves
1 tablespoon peanut oil
Salt to taste

Prepare thecha like this

In a pan, on medium flame, heat 1 tbsp oil.
Add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and fry till they change colour.
Now add 50 grams of whole green chillies and fry them till their skin changes colour.
Green chillies have a tendency to burst or crack, especially if there is any trace of moisture in them.
To prevent injury, cover the pan when you cook the peppers.
When the green chillies change color, add 1 tbsp garlic cloves and fry for a minute. Then turn off the flame.
Immediately, add 1/4 cup roasted peanuts and mix well.
Let the mixture cool slightly.
Put the chutney in a grinder or mortar
Add 1/4 cup coriander and some salt.
Grind them together, however, keep them a little thick.
Serve Hirvi Mirchi Cha Thecha with Bhakri, Roti or Varan Bhaat (Maharashtrian Dal and Rice).
These are very tasty.
