Serves 2

3-4 small green chillies (Very hot! Use less chillies for desired level of heat/spiciness) (See Concoctions 101)

1 large or 2 small garlic cloves

1/4 cup yogurt (any kind)

3-4 cilantro sprigs, finely chopped

salt, to taste

1 pinch sugar (this adds the Maharashtrian touch)

 

With a pair of kitchen tongs, roast the chillies and garlic cloves by holding them directly on the stove flame till they turn dark brown-black in color.  If you don’t have a gas stove, you can roast them on a frying pan/flat iron skillet. You may use a few drops of oil, but if you don’t, they will roast just fine.

Coarsely pound the two using a pestle and a mortar (as shown above). Add the rest of the ingredients and combine with the pestle. Alternatively, you can use a mini food processor and it will deliver the same product. Just remember to pulse and not run it continuously.

This can be a great side item to spice up any meal. As I do, it can be had with khichadi or any other rice concoctionand goes very well with parathas too.
