Poondu Chutney

🇮🇳 Indian

Garlic chutney, pungent enough to announce itself from the next room. Small bowl, big personality. Keeps three days refrigerated; tempering on top keeps it fresher.

Prep 10 min Cook 6 min Serves 6 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Garlic6 cloves
  • Mustard Seeds1 tsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Dried Red Chilies1 tsp
  • Asafoetidaa pinch
  • Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
  • Coconut Oil1 tbsp
  • Grated Coconut1 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Get everything ready: fresh coconut or the garlic prepped, spices within reach — chutney takes minutes.

  2. 2

    Briefly warm the dried red chilies in a dry pan until the kitchen smells like it means it.

  3. 3

    Grind the garlic with the dried red chilies, tamarind, green chilies and salt to a texture you like — smooth or rustic.

  4. 4

    Taste and adjust — salt, sour, heat; chutney should be slightly louder than the dish it accompanies.

  5. 5

    Pour the crackling tadka over the chutney and leave it sitting on top like a crown.

Chef's tip

A pinch of jaggery rounds the heat beautifully.
