Mirchicha Chatka (Fire Roasted Chillies With Yogurt Recipe)

Ingredients

• 8 Green Chillies
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds (Jeera) roasted
• 3 tablespoon Curd (Dahi / Yogurt) whisked
• 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
• Salt to taste
• 2 sprig Coriander (Dhania) Leaves chopped (optional)

Steps

1. To begin making the Mirchicha Chatka (Fire Roasted Chillies With Yogurt Recipe), first roast the Green chillies directly on Flame. You can use a fork or Skewer to hold the chillies. If you don’t have access to a flame burner, you can roast the chillies on a hot iron griddle or grill them in the oven.
2. Roast till a few black spots appear on each chilly and properly cooked and pungent odor arises.
3. Cool and pound together with the roasted cumin seeds in a mortar and pestle. If using a grinder, do not grind the chillies to a fine paste. Grind them coarsely.
4. In a small bowl add the coarsely ground chillies and curd. Add sugar, coriander leaves and salt to taste and mix.
5. Serve immediately or cool for 30 minutes and then serve.
6. Serve Mirchicha Chatka (Fire Roasted Chillies With Yogurt Recipe) with Bhakri, Roti or even as an accompaniment to Sabudana (Sago) Khichdi.
