Prawn thecha by Nomad Food Project

Let the good ol’ thecha replace your mirchi ka achaar

Aditya Rai and Advaith Inamke’s Nomad Food Project sells some of the most delicious, meat-based relishes and condiments which can save you the trouble of adding cooked meat to your meals. Their bacon marmalade and chorizo jam have a substantial following. The brand’s line of thechas is also quite popular. Thecha is a popular Maharashtrian chutney that’s usually made with green chillies and garlic. NFP sells a pre-bottled version of spicy, garlicky Prawn Thecha which pairs a traditional thecha base with locally sourced 'sukhat' prawns.

Non-vegetarian table condiments are steadily gaining ground over run-off-the-mill pickles or veggie relishes since they offer a quick way to add a dash of seafood or meat to any vegetarian meal and can also be used as a cooking agent. The artisanal Prawn thecha, for instance, can also be used as a spread or as an accompaniment for rotis or parathas!
