Bajari chi Bhakari ani Mirchi cha Thecha ani Phodlela Kanda (bajara roti with mirchi thecha and broken peeled onion) …this is the staple of farmers here in Maharashtra….a standard lunch ,eaten after a days hard work in the farm!

Ever tried eating the above combination??? Truly delicious and satisfying!!

4-8 Green Chillies,slit

3-5 Cloves Garlic

1 tsp Peanuts,roasted and coarsely ground

½ tsp Salt

2-3 Wooden skewers

Grease the chillies and garlic with some oil.

Make sure you have slit the green chillies,else they might burst during roasting on flame.

Thread the green chillies and garlic through the wooden skewers( skewers have to be soaked in water for 5 mins,to prevent them from catching fire)

Cool them and pound them in mortar and pessel to form a coarse mixture.

Mix together and add oil to it.
