Chili Garlic Chutney Recipe Lahsun Ki Chutney The Curry Mommy

Eat like my ancestors and pair the spicy condiment with roasted papad and roti. Then pair it with my Chai Recipe.

Garlic Chutney Ingredients

fresh garlic (lahsun) - I highly recommend fresh garlic for this recipe. It will give you a very vibrant flavor. Try using purple garlic for a more intense flavor or elephant garlic for a more subtle elephant garlic chutney.red chili powder - There are many different kinds of red chili powders out there. I prefer one that gives off a more vibrant color. If the option comes up, I like to purchase it from India. Otherwise, I use the spicy version of what is available at the Indian Grocery Store.

See the recipe card below for a full ingredient list.

Garlic Chutney Preparations

Peel fresh garlic and then either crush or blend it using a chutney machine, blender, mortar and pestle, or a garlic crusher. The garlic does not need to be pureed. Instead, it should look shredded. Then add red chili powder, fresh-cut cilantro, salt, and a hefty serving of oil. I sometimes add green onions to the mix to brighten the flavors. Mix together and enjoy!

Pair it with…

The possibilities are really endless. We prefer to use this Gujarati garlic chutney with pav bhaji or dosa for extra flavor but it really pairs with many many things.

Equipment

Garlic Crusher, Mortar and Pestle, Chutney Machine, or Blender is needed for this recipe. For ease and less clean-up, I highly recommend a garlic crusher to make this Gujrati garlic chutney. If using elephant garlic, be sure to cut it to allow it to fit in the garlic crusher.
