To think that I did not post this before! An easy way to get healthy groundnuts, garlic and curry leaves in, and goes well with chapathis and rice and as sandwich filling. See picture in the Palak Chapathis post below.

Ingrediants
- Groundnuts - roasted, skin removed
- Peeled garlic, as much as you can take :)
- Red chilly powder - choose a chilly that has a great colour, like the Kashimir chillies. They use the byedagi chillies in North Karnataka - such a brilliant red!
- Curry leaves - washed and dried. One big twig-worth of leaves or less.
- Salt

THANK YOU ! I went to a boarding school in Davangere and this used to be the highlight of the week, they would serve it with rice/chapati , curd,salted chillies and raw onion . Ever since i would have cravings for this like no other food ever.
ReplyDeleteCan you please tell me how to make those salted chillies , they were slightly salted somewhat oily and wet never tasted anything like it , i would be forever in your debt lols
Very glad to know :) Here are two recipes for the salted chillies from North Karnataka friends - I wasn't sure, I'm only married into Dharwar:) I suspect the first one is what you meant, I remember eating it in girmit:
DeleteRecipe 1:
Just fry green chillies( whole or slit) with little oil, add little salt and fry for a minute at the end (before taking off the stove)
Recipe 2:
1.Byadgi Chillies (The red North Karnataka chillies)
2.Methi powder, salt, hing, sour curds (paste)
3.Slit the chillies lengthwise, fill in the paste
4.Sun dry it till it is really dry, store it in air-tight container
5.Deep fry when needed.
