In this blog, we’ll delve into the ingredients that make up this delectable dish and explore its nutritional benefits.

What is Mirchi Ka Salan

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make a traditional Mirchi Ka Salan:

For the Salan:

Green chilies: 10–12 long, mild green chilies (adjust to taste)

Onion: 1 large, finely sliced

Tomatoes: 1–2 medium, pureed

Peanuts: ¼ cup, roasted

Sesame seeds: 2 tablespoons, roasted

Coconut ¼ cup, grated (optional)

Tamarind past: 1 tablespoon (adjust for tanginess)

Mustard seeds: ½ teaspoon

Cumin seeds: ½ teaspoon

Turmeric powder: ½ teaspoon

Red Chili Powder: 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)

Coriander Powder: 1 teaspoon

Garam Masala: ½ teaspoon

Salt: to taste

Oil: 2–3 tablespoons

Fresh coriander leaves: for garnishing

Preparation Steps

1. Prep the Chilies: Slit the green chilies lengthwise, keeping the stems intact. Remove seeds if you want to reduce the heat.

2. Make the Paste: Blend the roasted peanuts, sesame seeds, and grated coconut (if using) with a little water to form a smooth paste. Set aside.

3. Cook the Onions: In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, letting them splutter. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.

4. Add Spices: Stir in the turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook for a minute to enhance the flavors.

5. Tomato Purée: Add the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the mixture.

6. Combine: Add the peanut-sesame paste to the pan and mix well. Pour in about a cup of water to adjust the consistency. Bring it to a simmer.

7. Add Chilies: Gently place the slit chilies in the curry, cover, and let them cook for about 10–15 minutes on low heat.

8. Finish: Stir in the tamarind paste, garam masala, and salt. Let it cook for another 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.

Nutritional Benefits

Green Chilies: Packed with vitamins A and C, green chilies are known to boost metabolism and improve digestion. They also have anti-inflammatory properties.

This is a story about a Chef who growing up didn't know a thing about cooking! She who was the apple of her family's eye! Never had she entered the kitchen, nor had she known anything about food. Other than eating it, of course 😇😇🐿 She confesses that at the start of her cooking journey she didn't even know how to boil eggs!!! 🥚🥚🥚😅 In her own words : My biggest inspiration was my mum. I grew up watching her making amazing Hyderabadi food in what can only be described as the "authentic style". My passion for the culinary arts bloomed late, but that did not limit me in trying my hand at various cuisines. In a jiffy, I can cook up anything from Indian to Arabian to Italian or continental. However, my heart always beats for Hyderabadi Khaana! 😀😀😀😊 You see I have a legacy to uphold coming from a long line of excellent home chefs. Not to forget that I love to bring to life the age old recipes passed down in my family. Food is now a major part of my life. I always seek to add a personal touch & love to innovate. As a person I consider perfection in everything. My kitchen has to be spotless & in these times especially I make sure it is sanitized ever so often. Lucky to have a family that is so supportive & want to especially thank my brother who encouraged me & believed I could make it big in the F&B space! I am sure you will love my food and recipes.

One such Andhra dish which is one among the top picks in my household is the Mirchi Ka Salan (curried chillies). There is super ‘hotness’ even in the name of this dish!

Chillies dunked in the gravy made out of peanuts, dry coconut and spices are sure to impress your palate.

Here is the recipe for  HOT Mirchi Ka salan.

To the same pan, add the blended tomato-onion mix, tamarind paste and water to adjust the gravy consistency. Mix well and allow to boil for 5-6 minutes. Make sure to cover since the gravy has the tendency to splutter.

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with some hot rotis.
