Red Chilli Chutney is a fiery paste of hand-pounded red chilli and garlic that's the perfect accompaniment to Thalipeeth (multigrain flatbread), Zunka Bhakri (jowar roti curry) and even Varan Bhat (dal rice). Want to make a dull meal racy? We’ve got you covered.
Provenance
The word thecha comes from the Marathi word for crushing. It refers to the style of prep – hand pounding red chilli, garlic and simple condiments to make a wet chutney in small batches. Native to Vidarbha (north-eastern Maharashtra), the recipe from Varhad speaks of a land where temperatures are high, and tolerance for spice, higher. Farmers make a daily meal of Zunka Bhakri Thecha, with a side of sliced onion.
About The Seller
10 spirited women from 10 different bachat gaths (saving groups) in Wayfad village, Wardha, formed Sampurna SHG in 2020. Guided by their most enterprising member, Sharda Gajananrao Thakur, the self-help group produces and takes great pride in their high-quality chutneys and pickles that are made from the freshest of ingredients. A year-round harvest of fresh chillies from Sharda’s half-acre land is the secret to their delectable Red Chilli Chutney. Her recipe, perfected after endless trials, is sure to add a burst of delicious spiciness to any meal. Driven by self-belief, Sharda underwent specialised training to actualise her dream of setting up a business and started working out of her little home when she received no support from the very community she was keen to aid. Failure is not an option for Sharda whose spirit is unfazed by challenges and mind intent on seeing Sampurna and its stakeholders succeed.
