Hasi mensinkayi refers to green chillies in Kannada. Khara is spice. Here is a dry flavorful green chilly chutney which is used with traditional North Karnataka dishes like Jowar Bhakri, Akki rotti or even used to flavour a vegetable.
Ingredients:
15 green chillies chopped
100 grams roasted peanuts
1 tsp cumin seeds
15 cloves of garlic
A small bunch of coriander leaves
Salt
A tsp of powdered jaggery
A marble sized piece of tamarind
200 gms oil.
Method:
Heat oil in a pan. Add the chopped green chillies, garlic and cumin seeds and roast till the garlic and green chillies change colour. Allow the mixture to cool. Tip in the roasted peanuts, the cooled mixture, tamarind, jaggery, salt and coriander leaves into a blender and grind to a coarse paste. The oil released by the groundnuts and the oil that was used facilitates grinding the mixture which can be shaped into a ball. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Shelf life is a week to ten days.
