To tell you the truth, I never ever had this dish, just had the knowledge that this is famous Hyderabadi dish but I tasted salan with biryani in local restaurants and loved it and I tried it at home and loved it too. So when it comes to Mirchi ka Salan, I have to make it, because it has Mirchi, Which I just love it and second, it's Hyderabadi so I have to try this. But never had a chance to go out and first try it so I can replicate the taste but then I thought why not to make it home, then whenever I have chance I will try it outside. This goes perfect with biryanis, jeera rice or vegetable pulao but You can have it with Rotis too. Just Don't use spicy chilies because that will make the dish very spicy and you can not handle it, otherwise, it has very nice ingredients like coconut, peanuts and sesame seeds. So nothing can wrong, even my picky eater hubby like it. He wanted to me to add vegetables in that gravy so next time I will be making that and will share it too.

4-5 long chilies or any nonspicy chilies, just don't take capsicum

3 tbsp. oil
To make it paste
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup peanuts
2 tbsp sesame seeds
Dry roast these ingredients and make a fine thick puree with little water. Keep it aside.
Method:

Take it out and add the rest of the oil.
