Lehsun Ki Lal Chutney

🇮🇳 Indian

Rajasthani red garlic chutney, the chutney that makes dal-baati complete. The condiment that carries the meal — bright, punchy and made in minutes. Serve with idli, dosa, rice or anything that needs waking up.

Prep 12 min Cook 6 min Serves 6 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Tomato3, chopped
  • Garlic6 cloves
  • Mustard Seeds1 tsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Dried Red Chilies1 tsp
  • Asafoetidaa pinch
  • Tamarind Paste1 tbsp
  • Mustard Oil1 tsp
  • Coconut Oil1 tbsp

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

    Balance the three notes: more tamarind for sour, more chili for bite, salt to make both sing.

  5. 5

    Finish with a sizzling tempering: mustard seeds, curry leaves and dried red chilies poured over the top; stir in only at serving.

Chef's tip

A pinch of jaggery rounds the heat beautifully.
