mirchi ka salan

This Mirchi ka Salan is a dish to love. For one, it&#39;s really not as spicy as you might assume. And for another, it&#39;s delicious, especially when eaten with a vegetable biryani or naan.

Mirchi ka Salan

tbsp avocado oil oil

oz shishito peppers

peanuts

sesame seeds

poppy seeds

coconut milk

cumin seeds

garlic

ginger root

tsp mustard seeds

tsp fenugreek seeds or methi seeds

tsp onion seeds ((kalonji))

jalapeno pepper ((minced, optional))

curry leaves

tamarind

onions

turmeric

tbsp coriander

Salt

Make a paste of the cumin, ginger and garlic with a mortar and pestle or in a food processor.

Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a wok or skillet. Add the chili peppers and saute over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until brown spots appear. Remove the peppers to a plate and set aside.

To the same wok or skillet, add 1/2 tbsp oil and add the sesame seeds, poppy seeds and peanuts and saute until the peanuts look glossy and the sesame and poppy start to change color. Remove to a blender and blend into a very smooth paste with the coconut milk. Set aside.

Heat the final remaining 1 tbsp oil in the wok or skillet and add the mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds and onion seeds, if using. Once the mustard sputters, add the jalapeno, if using, curry leaves and the ginger-garlic-cumin paste. Saute for a minute or two.

Add the turmeric and coriander powder, stir to mix, then add the tamarind concentrate. and the blended sesame-peanut paste. Mix well and saute the paste over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the paste begins to come smoothly off the bottom of the skillet and appears to ooze oil. This should take about 7-8 minutes.

Add 2 cups of water. Mix well, bring to a boil, then add the chili peppers into the sauce. Bring the curry back to a boil and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. If it looks too thick, add more water.

Add salt. Turn off heat and serve hot.

Just made this and really liked it! I cut up the peppers really finely and added boiled eggs for more protein. Will make it in the future with paneer.

I love this dish. I am making it for dinner today for the second time. I love peanut butter and i love chillies so this was on my list to make as soon as I saw the recipe. It’s not as hot as you’d think , I even added some chilli flakes just to up the heat. Absolutely delicious. A new favourite of mine. Rich and creamy and the leftovers the next day are even better.
