Today i have for you all a famous classic dish from Hyderabadi cuisine . Any guesses ?? No no .. its not Hyderabadi biryani but the humble accompaniment ” Mirchi ka Salan ” without which biriyani can never taste the same ( at least for me !!! ) .Fried chillies dunked in the creamy sesame-coconut-peanut gravy with a hint of tangy tamarind is definitely something anybody can get addicted to.It’s spicy , tangy , rich and bursting with flavors . in short just YUMMM….. !!!!

HYDERABADI MIRCHI KA SALAN / MIRCHI KA SALAN RECIPE (2)

I wanted to post Mirchi ka salan in my blog from long time. Mirchi ka salan actually means chillies in a peanut sesame base gravy . Typically it is made from long green chillies . But since they are sometimes super hot , to be on the safer side i use bajji chillies which are mildly spiced .Last week when i saw these chillies in the market i remembered mirchi ka salan and picked it up . Aah had a lovely feast weekend ( Yes make this dish only when you have time to cook and relish it later ) .If you enjoy hot and spicy food, pair mirchi ka salan with some biryani or plain white rice or even chapathi.. and indulge ….Here you go….
