My Friend Rashmi made this Thecha. It means to crush or to pound in Marathi.
Rashmi's Mother in law Mrs Meena, introduced me to this...
I had taken pictures of it a long time ago, but i don't know where they are. I will find it and post it soon....
This is made with Red chillies, Garlic, Lime Juice and salt nothing else,
and oh my god, it is just a great accompaniment to anything, dal, curry tofu, veggies etc.....
Her mother in law also makes one with spinach and green chilies, yummmmmmmm
Rashmi's Thecha was made with Red Chillies, Curry Leaves, Garlic, Salt, Lime Juice and a few peanuts...
Although I mixed some in my Tomato Bisque Soup (it was great), Mrs Meena made a roti (She makes the best roti in the world) and put some of this and some ghee and rolled it and gave it to me...
The taste was just heavenly....
Rashmi uses it in any thing she makes...

Hi Vandana, heavenly lunch today as usual. Especial thanks for feeding my mom with so much affection. We loved the laddus that Vanitha so generously shared. Were those the power balls / moong dal laddo described in your blog?
Also, my mom makes something similar to thecha - we call it Vellulli (garlic) kharam (chilli) podi. It has garlic+ dry red chillies+ salt+ tamarind and optionally a tiny bit of jeera. Apparently it is made for new mothers. Although we all it a podi it is a little paste like. Yummy with neyya and annam.
