Spicy and tangy red chilli thecha – it’s a must in every Maharahstrian household! Thecha with bhakri is all-time favourite Maharashtrian combo, and this chutney-like dish is often prepared in small batches and enjoyed fresh.
While the lal mirch ka thecha tastes good when prepared in the mixer itself, the flavours of chillies, mustard and garlic will be even more prominent if patiently ground with a mortar and pestle, so try it the traditional way when you find some free time.
A classic Maharashtrian accompaniment, the red 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 8 days.
Tips for red chilli thecha. 1. While buying fresh chillies look for shiny, deep red coloured, crisp and unwrinkled ones. 2. Try to pick out sturdy crisp garlic cloves which do not appear wilted, and you should also check for mold and mildew on the garlic too.
