Shimla Mirchi Panchamrut is a Maharashtrian dish with a sweet and sour and slightly spicy flavour. Green capsicums are called Shimla Mirch in Marathi language. When one comes across the word ‘Panchamrut’, the first thing that comes to one’s mind is the sweet and sour curd preparation, which is a combination of five ingredients, made to be offered to deities during puja. Hence the name ‘Panch-amrut’!
But there exists a capsicum panchamrut made in the Konkan region of Maharashtra. My version is a bit different, where the ingredients to be roasted differ in some ways than the other recipes. Also there is no turmeric added to this dish!
My mom would always prepare it during my childhood days and we would relish it alongside my favourite, Varan Bhaat. After marriage, found that even dry coconut slices can be added to this panchamrut Thus, combining the coconut pieces to the original recipe passed down by my mom, to increase its health quotient. Who doesn’t know by now, that coconut too is a superfood after all!?
Shimla Mirchi Panchamrut is actually a unique, nutritious and absolutely delicious dish!
Serve the delicious Shimla Mirchi Panchamrut with some Varan Bhaat or just with some Jeera Rice.
