    About This Recipe

    Mirchi Ka Kuta (Hari Mirchi Ka Kutta) is a hot and spicy Rajasthani side dish made using green chilies, garlic, fenugreek seeds, and a few other basic spices. It is basically spiced crushed green chillies.

    It is super easy to make, needs simple pantry ingredients, and comes together in just 10 minutes.

    Mirch Ka Kutta is best served along with Rajasthani Dal Bati Churma. It is also a great side dish to perk up your simple boring meals.

    Ingredients

    Green Chillies – This dish is made using fresh green chillies. You can choose less spicy chilies or hot chilies, depending on your preference. I personally like to use mild chilies.

    Garlic – Garlic is the key ingredient along with green chilies, that makes this side dish so addictive.

    Mustard Oil – Mustard oil gives it a pungent flavor that adds to its taste. You can use vegetable oil too.

    Spice Powders – Mirch ka kuta is spiced with some basic spice powders such as coriander powder, turmeric powder, and dry mango powder.

    Others – You will also need fenugreek seeds (methi dana), fennel seeds (saunf), nigella seeds (kalonji), mustard seeds (sarson), cumin seeds (jeera), asafetida (hing), and salt.

    Serving Suggestions

    Mirch Ka Kutta is popularly served on the side with Dal Baati Churma. I personally like to serve a little on the side with a simple bowl of dal and phulka.

    It also tastes great on the side with dal rice or kadhi khichdi. You can serve it on the side with your everyday Indian meals, and I am sure it will surely perk up the taste of the simplest of your meals.

    Storage Suggestions

    This spicy Rajasthani side dish will easily last for about a week in the fridge when stored in an airtight container. Use a clean and dry spoon for every use, which will ensure that the kuta lasts longer comparatively.

    If you want to store it for a really long time, then transfer it to a clean glass jar. Heat 2 cups of mustard oil until it starts to fume. Remove the pan from the heat and let the oil cool down completely. Pour cooled mustard oil over the chilies. The chilies must submerge in the oil. Now keep the jar in the sun for a few days and your pickle will be ready. Store it at room temperature for up to a year.
