Khandeshi Thecha

Recipe Courtesy: Pallavee Amdekar

Khandeshi thecha is very famous in certain parts of central/western India. This is a little twist on my mom’s traditional recipe. It can be used as spicy salsa with chips, tacos, etc.

This recipe needs several different ingredients that are listed below.

  • Green chillis – 17 or 18
  • Garlic cloves peeled – 7 or 8
  • Roma tomato big – 1
  • Salt as per taste 
  • Oil – 1 tbsp
  • Mustard seeds for tempering – optional 

Apply oil on chillies, garlic cloves, and tomato. Roast green chillies and garlic directly on fire (gas stove) as shown in the picture. Poke a fork in the tomato and roast directly on fire. Roast till you get black sports on everything.  Blend into soup like consistency after it cools down.  Add salt. Make a tempering with the oil & mustard seeds. Pour on top. Thecha is ready!
