Green chilli pickle or Mirchi Thecha is a maharashtrian dish. I had it for the first time when i was at a relatives place a fortnight ago. I simply loved it because of all the different flavours that it brought out.
Mirchi Thecha is generally coarsely ground, however, i ground a little more finely than it usually is. It is no doubt a spicy preparation nevertheless a great tasting one. It gets less spicy a day or two after its made. You can also add a teaspoon or two of roasted peanuts to reduce the heat.
This pickle/chutney can be paired with almost anything. You can use it as a spread for breads or a side for chapatis, dosas, idlis and rice or one can use it to add spice and flavour to any curry.
