Spicy, garlicky thecha is a green-chile-based condiment that hails from Maharashtra in western India. Associate food editor Rachel Gurjar loves using it to complement seared skirt steak, as well as chicken, eggplant, cauliflower, or any other ingredient that longs for massive flavor. Serve the steak with rice, roasted potatoes, or a salad for a full meal.
