Mirchi Ka Salan is a phrase in Urdu, a language widely spoken to Hyderabad especially from where this dish originates. Mirchi means chilli, Salan means curry or sauce. So Mirchi Ka Salan means green chilli.

Replacements and variations
- Chili – Bajji Chilli and Bhavnagiri Chilli works for this, but also any green chili pepper of great variety such as the Pepper peppers or the jalepene pepper. If you don’t want to use chili pepper, use chili pepper or aubergine.
- Tamarind – You can also use the tomato if you don’t want spicy and a fan of the delicate taste.
- Onion – You can also do without onion. In this case, double the ingredients for grinding the base sauce.
Even if your reader does not follow a specific diet (e.g. gluten free), they may have friends or family for which they are cooking this could use it. This is also an excellent idea to connect to another blogger with a similar recipe that adapts to a different diet.
My notes
- I added sliced onion. But if you want a more fluid -looking sauce, cut it finely or after jumping, grinding with peanuts, sesame, coconut can help. At home we love the cut onion, so it’s your personal preference.
- You can double the amount of ingredients that we roast and grind for a more often and richer sauce. In particular, if you are a big fan of the walnut flavor in your curry.
Warehouse
Mirchi Ka Salan remains well for a couple of days in the fridge. Just add a splash of water during heating.
Superior suggestion
The beauty of the sauce is the oil floating at the top. I used ¼ cup (4 tablespoons of oil, but I have not obtained the fat finish. If you want the appearance, you can add a teaspoon of kashmir peppers in low heat oil, add to the top of the sauce. This will seem exactly as if you use more oil.
Another reason that can also be the reason why the oil does not float at the top:
- Don’t boil long enough/ cook long enough.
Make sure you balance the coasts with the tamarind, otherwise the spicyness will not be balanced.
Faq
The curry consists of Bajji peppers (hot banana peppers), peanuts, sesame seeds, dry coconut, tamarind, spices and ginger garlic pasta as main ingredients.
