No matter what the weather is, garlic chutney is a must-have in your house. It goes well with paratha, Indian meal, kebabs, chilla, and other Indian starters. The Rajasthani version of this chutney is spicier and more flavourful. Here is how you can make it.
½ teaspoon cumin seeds 2 peeled garlic bulbs 8 dry red chillies ½ teaspoon turmeric powder 1 cup water 3 tablespoons oil 1 medium tomato 2 teaspoons Kashmiri red chilli powder
If you have a mortar and pestle at home, coarsely grind red chillies, tomatoes, and garlic along with cumin seeds and salt to taste.
Add splashes of water in the middle to ease the movement and escalate the grinding process.
Heat oil in a saucepan, and add the chutney paste to it along with turmeric powder and Kashmiri red chilli powder.
Saute the ingredients until the oil separates. This process increases the shelf life of the chutney and roasting of spices enhances its flavours.
Once the chutney cools off, add it to an airtight container. You can store it in the refrigerator for at least two weeks.
Serve the chutney with paratha, chilla, idli, kebabs, mathri, samosa, or even momos.
