Himachal ke har gaon ki ek alag pehchaan hoti hai – aur jab baat swad ki aati hai, toh sabse pehle yaad aati hai garam-garam roti ke saath khayi jaane wali Chamba Chukh.

Ek chhoti si chutney, lekin iske andar chhupa hai pahadon ka teekha aur khatta swaad. Chamba ke laal mirch aur sarson ke tel mein pak kar yeh Himachali Chukh ban jata hai ek aisa magic, jo ek simple khane ko bhi shaahi daawat bana deta hai.

🥘 Ingredients – Kya Kya Chahiye?

• Laal mirch (dry) – 200 gm

• Garlic – 10–12 kali

• Ginger – 1 inch

• Salt – taste ke hisaab se

• Mustard Oil – ½ cup

• Lemon juice / Khatta (for tanginess)

Aur sabse important – thoda pyaar aur pahadon ka patience!

👩‍🍳 Recipe – Kaise Banti Hai Himachali Chukh

1. Laal Mirch ka Jaadu 🌶️
   Sukhi laal mirch ko pehle thoda garam paani mein bhigo do. Jab naram ho jaye, toh ek sil-batta ya mixer mein pisaayi shuru karo.

2. Lehsun & Adrak ka Swad 🧄
   Lehsun aur adrak mila kar ek smooth paste bana lo. Isse chutney mein ek dum desi kick aata hai.

3. Tel ka Tadka 🫙
   Mustard oil ko garam karo jab tak halka dhuaan na nikle. Phir isse thoda thanda hone do. Yehi tel chutney ko woh asli Himachali khushboo deta hai.

4. Melting of Flavours 🍲
   Ab mirch, adrak-lehsun aur namak ko mustard oil ke saath mila lo. Upar se thoda nimbu ya khatta daal kar ekdum authentic Chukh ready hai!

🍽️ Kaise Khaye?

• Garam rajmah-chawal ke saath

• Makki ki roti aur saag ke saath

• Ya simple paratha ke saath bhi ekdum perfect!

Chamba ke pahadon mein toh log ise winter ke immune booster ke roop mein bhi khate hain.
