Chilli Garlic Chutney
Description
Chilli Garlic Chutney relies on dried Kashmiri red chilies, which are soaked to soften and reduce heat while enhancing color. Blending these chilies with fresh garlic, salt, and a small amount of water produces a smooth and dense chutney. Because the recipe limits water addition, the chutney maintains a hearty texture without becoming runny. This accompaniment pairs well with various chaat recipes, adding a balanced spice and pungency that enhances the overall dish.
The chutney’s straightforward preparation involves soaking, draining, and blending the chilies and garlic, making it accessible for regular meal prep. It can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container for extended use, offering a quick flavor boost to snacks or meals that benefit from a spicy garlic touch.
Ingredients
- 10 dried red chili kashmiri chili prefered, whole
- 1 cup water for soaking chili
- 10 cloves garlic medium, peeled
- 1/4 tablespoon salt
- 1/2 cup water for blending
Instructions
- Start by removing the stem of the dry kashmiri red chilies. Then soak them in hot water for about half hour before you start making this chutney. Make sure there just enough water to cover the chilis completely.
- Later drain the water using a strainer.
- Then combine the peeled garlic cloves and the chilis along with salt and water in a blender.
- Blend them smoothly. Don’t add too much water to this chutney as it would thin out its consistency.
- Enjoy with chaat recipes.
Notes
- Use dried Kashmiri chilies for their mild heat and distinctive red color.
- Removing chili seeds before soaking reduces the chutney's heat if desired.
- Use minimal water when blending to keep the chutney thick for spreading on chaats.
- Prepare a batch ahead and refrigerate in an airtight container; it stores well and can be used as a convenient flavor enhancer.
