Chilli Garlic Chutney

This Chilli Garlic Chutney blends soaked dried Kashmiri red chilies with peeled garlic cloves to create a thick, vibrant red condiment. Its mildly spicy and garlicky flavor complements Indian street foods like chaats, providing a rich and tangy addition. The chutney’s consistency remains thick due to minimal water use, making it ideal for spreading or drizzling.

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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Later drain the water using a strainer.
  3. Then combine the peeled garlic cloves and the chilis along with salt and water in a blender.
  4. Blend them smoothly. Don’t add too much water to this chutney as it would thin out its consistency.
  5. 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.
