28 Apr Mirchi Ka Salan / Hyderabadi Salan

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.

• 8 chillies slit and de-seeded
• 1 medium sized onion finely cut
• 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
• 1 tablespoon tamarind pulp
