Dry Garlic Chutney

Dry Garlic Chutney is additionally referred to as Lahsun Chutney in Hindi. This one Chutney also famous Maharashtra. I have more requests for this chutney than any other condiments. In fact, sometimes my baby to pair garlic chutney over ketchup with fries and Curd Rice, hash browns, and Potato Finger Cheeps wedges.



This particular recipe is known as dry garlic chutney because unlike other chutneys, there's no addition of water or the other liquid while blending/grinding it. Since it's dried this recipe is additionally easy to store and may be used safely for a month.




Recipe for Dry Garlic Chutney | Lahsun Chutney

Ingredients:


      1 cup dry shredded coconut

·         12 cloves of garlic

·         12 red wholes dry Byadagi chili

·         1 tsp Red Kashmiri Chili powder

·         5 small pieces of dry tamarind

·         salt to taste






   Preparation (see pics below):

1.          Roast coconut in a pan until lightly brown.

2.       Next roast garlic (with skin), chilies, and tamarind separately for a few seconds each.

3.       Once cooled, peel off the garlic skins.

4.       Take a blender combine garlic, chili, and tamarind, and blend for a few seconds.

5.       Add some salt & coconut and blend/grind some more until ready.

6.       Store it in an airtight container.


The recipe itself is extremely easy, but it important to urge the proportion of ingredients right. If you increase many cloves of garlic, you may find yourself with a powerful, bitter, and tongue-numbing taste. I used Byadagi chilies for warmth because this kind of chili is mildly spicy. If you favor more heat, you'll use other sorts of chilies as long as they're dry and red. The great thing about dry garlic chutney is you'll be able to safely store it outside on the countertop for up to 2 weeks and within the refrigerator for over a month.

Simple Dry Peanut Chutney

 Dry Peanut Chutney is a quick and easy, mouthwatering side or condiment that will spice up any dish and enhance its flavor.


Dry Peanut Chutney is popular in certain regions in the State of Maharashtra (India). It is a dry chutney because you don’t use any kind of water or oil to process it.

I was introduced to this chutney in the 9th grade by my best friend in school. I have lost touch with her, but I have never forgotten the quick peanut chutney sandwich she had made for me after school one day.

The recipe for Peanut Chutney is simple with few ingredients. The tricky part, however, is the steps you have to follow to get this recipe right. If you follow the steps carefully you will end up with dry, coarse, crumbly textured peanut chutney. Otherwise, you will end up with a mess of spicy peanut butter which is not what we are looking for.

Ingredients for Peanut Chutney

7 pcs of dry red chili
1 tsp roasted cumin seed
4 cloves of garlic
   salt to taste


Instructions for Chutney:

  • Roast the dry chili and cumin separately for a few seconds. Set it aside to cool.
  • Grind it to a powder in a small food processor.
  • Add garlic, salt, and grind it further.
  • Lastly, add the roasted peanuts and press the chop/pulse button on your food processor for a couple of seconds until all the ingredients have blended into a coarse mixture.
  • Store it in an airtight container. Serve it on the side with your lunch or dinner, or sprinkle it in any sandwich for some added spice.

The Best Cooking Tool/Gadget to Make Peanut Chutney
