I first had the fiery hot thecha in a tribal hamlet in Maharashtra, and have been trying to replicate the taste ever since. This is a recipe that I got from my Maharashtrian maid, and it comes closest to the taste I remember.
Ingredients
8 pods garlic, peeled
4 large/ 8 small green chillies
one handful roasted peanuts
rock salt
1 tsp oil
Roast peanuts, remove the skin and keep aside
Heat the oil, and on low fire, fry green chillies and garlic till brownish spots start to appear. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Lightly pound the chillies, garlic and peanuts till they attain a slightly coarse, but even consistency. Add rock salt to taste while you are pounding.
