Background: I think this recipe was invented by my Mommy as I do not think I have eaten it anywhere else but my house. It is the best starter dip I have ever tasted and is an ideal dip to be had with Potato Chips, Monaco Biscuits or even cucumber and carrot sticks!!
It is a very healthy option (as compared to some of the other readymade dips available in the market) and can be consumed in larger quantities without feeling guilty and it is very simple to make and does not take more than 15 minutes to make.
Ingredients
(1) 2 Packs of “Chitale” or “Asli” Dahi (curd)(even 1 pack will do depend on the quantity you want to make)
(2) 2 Onions as finely cut as possible into rectangular 0.5 cm pieces
(3) 1 Capsicum as finely cut as possible into rectangular 0.5 cm pieces
(4) Some finely chopped coriander
(5) 2 Green chilies
(6) Salt to taste
Preparation
(1) Take the 2 Tins of Dahi (curd) and empty the same into a thin towel / “Pancha” as we say in Marathi which will help us soak the water out of the curd. It is similar to the process in which we make Shrikhand
(2) Tie the other end of the cloth into a knot and hang the cloth for about 5 hours so that all the water can seep out. Alternatively you can put this tied up cloth into the fridge in a container and the water will seep out about 4 to 5 hours
(3) Open the cloth after 5 hours and and empty the remains of the curd into a large bowl. It will be slightly off white in colour and will appear dry like soft paneer
(4) Add the chopped onion, capsicum, chilies, coriander and the salt to taste and mix well
(5) Your dip is ready, serve cool
