About Sandwich Chutney

Sandwich Chutney is a popular green chutney used mainly in Indian street style sandwiches. It is little different from regular green chutney because coconut is added here. Coconut makes the chutney thick and smooth which is perfect for spreading. This texture makes sandwich taste more better.

This recipe has a thick but still smooth texture. You can add water little by little, if it becomes too watery then it will soak the bread and make it soggy. Mint and coriander gives a nice green color and fresh kind of smell. That fresh aroma comes out while grinding itself. You can also use this in chapati or kati roll.

This chutney is very flexible and can be used in many ways. You can spread it on bread, use it in chaat or even serve with cutlets. Lemon juice adds light tang and keeps the chutney fresh for some time. Sugar is added just little to balance all flavors. It does not make chutney sweet at all.

I usually make this chutney fresh and store it in fridge for busy days. This is one chutney I make very often at home. Sometimes I make it even twice in a week.

Sandwich Chutney Ingredients

  • Coriander leaves - I have used for main flavor and green color. It gives freshness to the chutney. 
  • Mint leaves - I added for cooling taste and strong aroma. It makes the chutney fresh. You can reduce mint if you don't like strong flavor.
  • Grated coconut - I have used for thickness and mild sweetness. Frozen coconut also works fine if fresh is not there.
  • Green chilli - I used one long variety for spice. It adds heat but not too much. You can just add more or less as per taste.
  • Sugar - I added little to balance spice and tang. It does not make chutney sweet. You can skip if you want.
  • Lemon juice - I used for slight tang and freshness. It also keeps the green color. You can use vinegar also.

Bread Dipping Oil

20 December 2025 at 07:28

A few slices of crusty bread and this dipping oil bread dipping oil is a combo you need on your Holiday food tables. It comes together quickly and with simple ingredients, but will become your new favorite way to eat bread!

bread dipping oil served in a white bowl with spoon and accompaniments

Ever since I tried a version of this bread dipping oil at a friend’s place a few months ago, I have been hooked! I have made this for every single gathering I have hosted since, and it’s been wiped clean each time!

This dipping oil is a quick and simple recipe that comes together in under 15 minutes. But it’s got tonnes of flavor from the roasted bell pepper, garlic, and seasonings. And my favorite part? It’s got a long shelf life! Especially helpful if you’re hosting as that’s one less thing to make on the day.

While it’s great for parties, this olive oil dip for bread is the kind of thing I would also make for a gossip session with a friend over chai or for myself on an evening when I want a fancy but easy snack. The options are truly endless.

Jump to section: Bread DIpping Oil

Ingredients for Dipping Oil

  • Olive oil – forms the rich base of the dip. I would recommend using a quality one for the best flavor
  • Bell pepper – roasted until charred. Delivers body and a sweet, smoky flavor to the dish
  • Walnuts – bring lots of texture and a nutty flavor
  • Black olives – adds salty, savory flavor and texture
  • Balsamic vinegar – for a touch of tang and sweetness to add balance
  • Honey – the sweetness help soften the acidity and softens the acidity and rounds out the flavours.
  • Garlic – freshly grated for flavor and aroma. I would not recommend subbing for garlic powder as it won’t give the same flavor.
  • Orange peel – finely chopped for that beautiful citrusy brightness and lift. it’s an unexpected ingredient, but one I highly recommend
  • Seasonings – parsley and Italian seasoning for fresh, herby flavors
  • Salt

Customisation Ideas

  • Skip walnuts or replace them with almonds or pine nuts for a different texture
  • Add a pinch of chilli flakes if you like a little warmth
  • Replace honey with maple syrup for a deeper sweetness
  • Stir in a spoon of sun-dried tomatoes for extra intensity
  • Make it smoother by pulsing briefly in a mixer for a more spread-like texture

Serving Ideas

  • Serve with toasted bread cubes, sourdough, or focaccia
  • Spoon over grilled vegetables or roasted potatoes
  • Use it as a finishing drizzle for burrata or fresh mozzarella
  • Add to a grazing board with cheese, fruit, and nuts for an easy centrepiece

About Lehsun Ki Chutney

Lehsun Ki Chutney is quite famous in Rajasthan. It's made by grinding garlic together with red chilies, salt and lemon juice. The paste comes out slightly coarse because of garlic. It is spicy, tangy and very aromatic. It stays for a week in fridge so its helpful in busy days.

The texture is soft but a little rough bits of garlic here and there which gives a bite while eating. Flavor is strong, tangy and spicy. Some people add oil or roasted spices, which makes it richer but simple version is also great. This chutney is bold and full of flavors, it really wakes up your taste buds in one go.

This chutney recipe have different variations in many regions. You can just roast the garlic and for mild flavor. You can add some peanuts or sesame seeds to make crunchy bits.

I usually make it on weekends for dosa or Idly. It goes so well with warm chapati or bajra roti. I sometimes add a bit of gingelly oil to it. I love garlic chutney so this was a treat for me. You can accompany this chutney with many chats, sandwiches and snacks too.

Thecha Recipe | How to Make Thecha

13 October 2025 at 10:51

Spicy, nutty, and full of personality, this classic Maharashtrian thecha is the easiest way to give your everyday food a desi twist.

an image of freshly pounded thecha to show it's texture and consistency

Somewhere between its smoky heat from green chillies, the sharp bite of garlic, and the crunch of roasted peanuts, thecha finds its magic. This Maharashtrian classic is unapologetically flavourful and instantly wakes up any simple plate of food.

Traditionally pounded by hand for that rustic texture, thecha is quick to make and needs just a few pantry staples. It’s one of those condiments you will always find in my fridge, right alongside my trusty chilli oil, homemade tomato ketchup, and green coriander chutney. If you love big, punchy flavours, this is one recipe you should save.

Ingredients for Thecha

  • Green Chillies: The heart of thecha recipe. Use the spicy ones for that iconic fiery kick or a milder variety if you want a less intense heat.
  • Garlic: Adds a sharp, earthy depth that balances the spice beautifully.
  • Peanuts: Roasted and de-skinned, they bring texture and a nutty flavour that mellows the heat.
  • Coriander Stems and Leaves: A touch of freshness that brightens the chutney.
  • Oil: Helps blister the chillies and garlic, and adds a smokey flavor. Use any neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point. 
  • Salt: To season
an image of blistered green chillies and garlic on a tawa to make thecha

Richa’s Top Tips

  • Use a mortar and pestle: Thecha gets its signature texture and flavor when pounded by hand. A mixer works too, but keep it coarse.
  • Adjust the heat: Green chillies vary in spice, so taste as you go. You can mix hot and mild chillies for better balance.
  • Roast the ingredients right: Let the chillies and garlic blister nicely, that smoky aroma is what gives thecha its bold flavor.
  • Add peanuts last: Pound or blend them at the end so they stay slightly chunky and add crunch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the meaning of Thecha?

Thecha literally means “to pound” or “crush” in Marathi. It’s derived it’s name from the way it is made–by pounding chillies, garlic, and peanuts together to create that coarse, fiery chutney.

What is Thecha made of?

The basic version uses green chillies, garlic, peanuts, and oil. Some versions add coriander, sesame seeds, or even lemon juice for extra flavour.

Can I add lemon juice or curd to Thecha?

Yes, adding a little lemon juice gives it a bright tang, and curd can make it milder if you want to balance the spice.

Is thecha healthy? 

Thecha is a locally consumed Maharashtrian condiment that’s traditionally eaten like chutney or pickle in smaller portions. It’s loaded with good fats from peanuts, and can help you stay fuller for longer. If eaten in smal quantities, it can be quite healthy and a rich source of minerals and essential nutrients.  

Thecha Dishes You’ll Love

Once you make a batch of thecha, you’ll want to put it on everything (& honestly you should). Here are a few easy, flavour packed recipes for you to try

  • Freezer: You can freeze this thecha recipe for up to a month. Portion it into small airtight containers or silicone trays for easy use.
  • Room temperature: Avoid leaving it out for more than a couple of hours, especially in warm weather, as the garlic and peanuts can turn rancid.

Mangaad | Ambyache jam | Goan Mango jam without Pectin

Mangaad | Ambyache jam | Goan Mango jam without Pectin 

Managed or Mango jam is made using just mangoes and sugar without any preservative which makes it very special. This jam is found mostly in Goa where we get special mangoes called “Musarad” or “Monserrat” , pulpy kind used for jam.

Mangad is Goan Jam made out of special mangoes named “Monserrat” or “Mustard” we get in Goa. These are special mangoes used only to make mango jam as they are very juicy and pulpy. During my childhood my aunt used to make huge quantity of this jam and store it.  We kids used to feast on it. Today I made this super tasty mango jam with the help of my mom and it turned out super tasty. If you don’t find such kind mangoes in your area then not to worry, use any kind mangoes you get in your locality.

Preparation Time: 10 Minutes

Cooking Time: 60 Minutes

Ingredients : 

7-8 big Size mangoes ( 2 Kg)

1 Kg Sugar

2 Teaspoons cardamom powder

Method : 

Wash mangoes thoroughly 3-4 times .

Peel off mangoes and remove the pulp .

Grind the pulp to smooth puree using mixer grinder and take out the puree in a heavy bottom pan . Some use non stick pan , but I avoid non stick wherever I can. 

Keep the pan on medium heat and stir occasionally using wooden or plastic spatula.

Cook for around 30 minutes or till you see it getting thick.

Add sugar , mix and keep cooking . The mixture splutters , so be careful. Keep stirring in between. 

Once sugar is added, the mixture becomes thin again . It will eventually start getting ticker again.

After an hour or so the mixture becomes thick will start leaving sides of pan. 

Add cardamom powder , mix and remove from heat.

Once it is cooled down completely, store in glass jar.

How to make thick Curd at home

Photos and video updated on 15 April 2021

How to make thick Curd at home with step step photos recipe. Curd is an important accompaniment to Indian food and no meal is complete without Dahi/curd at our home whether we used as it is simple with meal or variation of lassi's or in the form of raita's too. Homemade curd or yogurt is pretty easy to make at home.

Curd or Dahi is a dairy product made by milk and sample of curd which curdling, we can make curd at home on a regular basis. We love to have homemade dahi as compared to market ones. The procedure is very simple, all you need to follow proper procedure and method and you can make thick curd at home.

I prepare homemade curd nearly everyday, not only it’s easy - it thick, rich in protein and taste's good too. 
Homemade Dahi Recipe

Summers are the best time to have curd (yogurt) just plain or sweetened or in kadhi, lassi, or a simple raita.

Yogurt based dishes are cooling and ideal for summers. I learn this process from my mom, she usually prepare homemade curd in this way only. 

The best part of the curd is very easy and simple to make at home, it's inexpensive too. Some dishes like paratha's, thepla and khichdi seem incomplete with yogurt, if they are not served with dahi. With dahi, you can make end number of wonderful dishes like kadhi pakoda, raita, and lassi.

This is pure homemade style curd no preservatives included, I always prefer to prepare homemade curd as compare to buy it from market one.
You can make end number of recipes from curd like

Check out the video recipe of Make Dahi or Curd at home


Let's start to make this easy and quick recipe with simple step-by-step process with photos. 

COURSE: Side dish
CUISINE: Indian
PREP TIME: 2 minutes
COOK TIME:10 minutes
RESTING TIME: 8 hours (overnight)
TOTAL TIME:12 minutes
AUTHOR: Jolly Makkar

Ingredients :

Full fat milk - 1 litre
Leftover sample of curd/yogurt/dahi - 1 tbsp(1 day or 2 day old)

utensils

pan to heat milk
hot pan

Preparation Method :

1. Keep the milk to boil, let the milk come to a boil, simmer for a minute or two and then close the burner.

2. Cool the milk at room temperature till it becomes warm, Immerse your finger and check.


3. I have used the different pan to make curd, add a teaspoon of curd (yogurt) culture to the milk and mix well. 
Repeat the above same step for 2 times. So the milk and curd mixed well.

4. Your curd is all ready to set. Cover and keep at room temperature for 6-8 hours or till the curd is set. You could also keep it overnight also. 

(this below pic for those who stays in a cold temperatures, then cover the bowl or pan in which the curd mixture is with a warm towel or warm blanket and keep it in a warm place in your kitchen. In Bangalore, the night temp. is always cold, I am preparing homemade curd in this process only.)

5. So now you have a nice well thick-creamy homemade curd. Keep it in a fridge to cool it.

6. Curd or dahi can be had plain or sweetened or can be made into a dessert, drink or any dish of your choice.
Dahi Jamane ka Sahi Tareeka Halwai Jaisa

Important Notes :
  • Do not add dahi in hot milk, if its very hot the milk gets coagulates and you might end up getting a grainy curd.
  • Using sour starter will yield a sour curd or dahi
  • If you stay in a cold place or have cold temperatures, then cover the bowl or pan in which the curd mixture is with a warm towel or warm blanket and keep it in a warm place in your kitchen.
  • In summers the curd will be set faster than in the winters. so keep an eye as we are in the peak of summers in India now…
