After Kumbakonam Kadappa and Mumbai Misal, its time to explore Hyderabad.
Mirchi ka Salan is a popular dish in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. Prepared with peanut, coconut, sesame seeds and tamarind juice, a curry which is typically served as a side dish to aromatic hyderabadi biryani. But it can also be paired with any type of Biryani / Pulav / any Roti / paratha. Mirchi ka salan goes very well with any main course dish.
I have tried to use minimum oil in this recipe.
- The Chillies used are the big variety, less spicy ones.
- 8 chillies slit and de-seeded
- 1 medium sized onion finely cut
- 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon tamarind pulp
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
