Vegetable Chili Paste

Vegetable Chili Paste is commonly prepared by my mom at home to give a good flavor and aroma to the dish. Its also known as meet-mirsang masala (chili paste) to us Mangaloreans living in the coastal region.

We grind the ingredients to a fine thick paste and store it in a small bottled container in the fridge. When preparing vegetarian dishes, just add the required amount of the chili paste needed based on your spice level.

Veggies that can be prepared with this chili paste for dry gavy dishes:

  • Yam- Elephant foot / Soorn (konkani)
