Specialty of Rajasthani food and history of Dahi Mirchi
As colorful and rich as the culture of Rajasthan is, its food is equally unique and leaves a deep impact. Due to lack of water and geographical conditions in this land of Marudhara, such dishes were developed which could last for a long time and could give rich taste even with less ingredients. Among these, dishes made using dry chilli, gram flour, buttermilk and curd have always been at the top. In Rajasthani homes, whenever any particular vegetable is not available at home or a new flavor has to be given to the boring food, then chilli vegetable with curd is always given priority. Through this recipe, Rashmi Jain has made a great effort to bring the same old and traditional earthy fragrance to modern kitchens, which people are liking very much.
List of ingredients required to make this recipe
You do not need any heavy or expensive ingredients to make this delicious Rajasthani Dahi Mirchi Sabzi which can be prepared in 10 minutes. For this you will only need those basic things which are easily found in your kitchen cabinets. As main ingredients, you need about 250 grams thick green chillies (which are less spicy), a cup of fresh and thick curd, a little gram flour which gives a great binding and texture to the gravy, turmeric powder, coriander powder, fennel powder which is the lifeblood of Rajasthani flavour, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, asafoetida, salt as per taste, and pure mustard oil or desi ghee for cooking. The right combination of all these ingredients transforms this simple chilli into a royal and flavourful dish.
Step-by-Step Easy Recipe to Make Rajasthani Dahi Mirchi
The process of making this instant recipe is very simple and any novice cook can easily follow it. First of all, wash and clean fresh green chillies thoroughly and wipe them with a cloth so that there is no moisture in it. Now make a slit in the middle of these chillies so that the spices can get inside properly. If you don’t like it too spicy, you can also remove some of the seeds inside. After this, take fresh curd in a bowl and add turmeric, coriander and fennel powder to it and beat it well so that a smooth paste is formed. Now heat some mustard oil in a pan and add cumin seeds, mustard seeds and a pinch of asafoetida to it. After the tempering crackles, add chopped green chillies to the pan and fry on medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes so that the rawness of the chillies goes away.
Prepare wonderful gravy by mixing curd and gram flour.
When the chilli becomes slightly soft, reduce the flame to low so that the curd does not curdle. Now put the prepared mixture of curd and spices in the pan and keep stirring it continuously with a ladle. Along with this, add a little roasted gram flour to it, which will further enhance its taste. Cook this mixture on low flame until the oil starts separating from the curd and the gravy thickens well. Finally add salt as per your taste and mix it well. Keep in mind that salt should always be added only after the curd is cooked so that there is no risk of the curd curdling. This whole process takes only 8 to 10 minutes and your fragrant Rajasthani dahi mirchi sabzi is ready.
