Mirchi Ka Salan and 75th Post


Hyderabad is famous for its nawabi cusine hyderabadi dum biryani,mirchi salan,bagara baingan,double ka meeta,qurbani ka meeta and the list is endless.I end up doing all these dishes very frequently.Biryani i cook every week without fail and till today who ever came as a guest to house had a feast of biryani with mirchi salan and the kurbani ka meeta.Today i am going to write my recipe of mirchi salan and very shortly i will be writing about the dum biryani.
Ingredients:-
Big green chillies 10
Onions 2 (chopped)
Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
Red chilly powder a pinch
Ginger garlic paste 15gms
Tamarind -- size of a medium lemon
Salt as per taste
Oil 5-6tbsp
For gravy paste
Fresh coconut 60gms
Peanuts 60gms
Sesame (Til) 30 gms
Cumin seeds (zeera) 10 gms
Coriander seeds (dhaniya) 10gms
Dry roast all of the above except coconut and make a fine paste and keep aside.
Tempering/Seasoning:-
Mustard seeds (Rai) Few
Cumin seeds (zeera) Few
Onion seeds (Kalonji,nigella seeds) 9-10
Curry leaves few

Preparation:-

  • Wash green chillies and wipe it dry.
  • Make a slit in the chillies so that the head remain intact.
  • Deep fry chillies and keep aside
  • Heat oil in a pan,add zeera,mustard,kalonji.Brown them well.
  • Add curry leaves and onions.Saute till onions are well fried
  • Now add ginger garlic paste and saute for some time.
  • Add the grounded masala and fry continuously stirring to prevent if from sticking to the bottom.Fry till oil starts leaving the masala.
  • Now add red chilly powder,turmeric powder and salt.Mix thoroughly.
  • Now add the tamarind pulp and continue to saute if for another 3-4minutes.
  • Add green chillies.

Traditionally mirchi salan is served with the mutton/chicken biryani.
