For the Salan:

Green chilies: 10–12 long, mild green chilies (adjust to taste)

Onion: 1 large, finely sliced

Tomatoes: 1–2 medium, pureed

Peanuts: ¼ cup, roasted

Sesame seeds: 2 tablespoons, roasted

Preparation Steps

1. Prep the Chilies: Slit the green chilies lengthwise, keeping the stems intact. Remove seeds if you want to reduce the heat.

2. Make the Paste: Blend the roasted peanuts, sesame seeds, and grated coconut (if using) with a little water to form a smooth paste. Set aside.

3. Cook the Onions: In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, letting them splutter. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.

4. Add Spices: Stir in the turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook for a minute to enhance the flavors.

5. Tomato Purée: Add the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the mixture.

6. Combine: Add the peanut-sesame paste to the pan and mix well. Pour in about a cup of water to adjust the consistency. Bring it to a simmer.

7. Add Chilies: Gently place the slit chilies in the curry, cover, and let them cook for about 10–15 minutes on low heat.

8. Finish: Stir in the tamarind paste, garam masala, and salt. Let it cook for another 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
