3. Green Chilli Thecha
When it comes to Maharashtrian spices, the most popular variety is thecha. Thecha is similar to chutney, but the difference is that it is traditionally ground using a mortar and pestle.

Have it with pav or snacks or as a side dish with regular meals like dal rice. Here is the full recipe.
