Indeed a mind-boggling, spicy and delicious chutney from Maharashtra, which is coarsely ground on the Sil Batta (Patta Varvanta). Thecha is also known as Kharda. Prepared with flame roasted green chilies , garlic, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, roasted peanuts ,fresh green coriander leaves and sea salt . I also added a little thick curds to it. If you don’t prefer adding curds add a little bit of white vinegar \/ lemon juice…. Have added a few sprigs of fresh mint leaves too… to further enhance its flavour. You may add a pinch of Hing too .Goes best with Jwarichi Bhakri ,Bajarichi Bhakri , Pithla Bhakri or Thalipeeth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
