green chilli thecha recipe | Maharashtrian hirvi mirchi thecha | with 12 amazing images A classic Maharashtrian accompaniment, the Green Chilli Thecha goes best with Chawal Bhakri, Whole Wheat Bhakri and Jowar Bhakri and can be made in small batches and stored in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. This chatpata Maharashtrian hirvi mirchi thecha is sure to add a lot of excitement to your meal! A delectably spicy combo of green chillies, garlic, peanuts and coriander, the Green Chilli Thecha can be ground in a mixer but will taste even better if you patiently crush it in a mortal-pestle! I would like to share some tips to make the perfect green chilli thecha. 1. Roasting the peanuts enhances the flavour of the peanuts in green chilli thecha. 2. Add the chopped green chillies, mix well. If you want little less spiciness use the light green variety of chillies or else use the dark green one’s for a very spicy taste. Enjoy how to make green chilli thecha recipe | Maharashtrian hirvi mirchi thecha | with detailed step by step photos and video below.

- Roasting the peanuts besides being helpful to de-skin them it also enhances the flavour of the peanuts inGreen Chilli Thecha(Maharashtrain Hirvi Mirchi Cha Thecha).
- To separate the peanuts from the skin toss them up and down in a plate, the skins will fly off or use a blower.
- We have made theGreen Chilli Thecha(Hirvi Mirchi Cha Thecha)in a mixer, but when made by pounding in a mortar and pestle the traditional way it tastes even better, as on pounding the peanuts, garlic, coriander and salt release juices and their flavours blend well.

- Once the peanuts are de-skinned keep them aside. Now heat oil in a broad non-stick pan.
- Add the chopped green chillies, mix well. If you want little less spiciness use the light green variety of chillies or else use the dark green one’s for a very spicy taste.Cover with a lid and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally.

Hi. Loved the recipe. Just wanted to ask which ingredient contributes to the presence of calcium in the thetcha recipe?

Tarla Dalal    Hi Ekta,Peanuts have 105 mg/cup and coriander leaves have 46 mg/cup of calcium, they contribute the presence of calcium in the thetcha.
