Ingredients

  • 15 cloves Garlic
  • 4 Red chilies
  • 50 ml Sesame oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop the garlic to small pieces.  Dry roast the red chilies for 30 secs.  Add garlic, roasted red chilies, salt and sesame oil into a mixie and grind to a fine paste (buttery consistency).  Check and adjust salt level.

  2. Enjoy with hot steaming idlis, dosas.  Remember to drizzle more sesame soil over the chutney while serving.

Recipe Notes

  1. No water should be added while making this chutney!
  2. If we can make this chutney in ammi kal, there is no need to add sesame oil while making it, but who can use ammi kal these days? As we will be making small quantity of chutney in mixie, it makes it easier if you add sesame oil to it while grinding.
  3. Leftover chutney stores well in the fridge for few days and you can make yummy Garlic Chutney Dosa using this chutney (that recipe on a separate post).  You can use this chutney when making your regular stir fries, curries etc.
