Garlic not only enhances the taste of a dish but is healthy also. It’s full of antioxidants and it reduces cholesterol. Spicy taste of garlic chutney makes it an important part in chaats. It’s too easy to make this chutney. The ingredients required are few. It’s even less time consuming. Garlic chutney is something which I make when I prepare chaats like bhel, dahi puri, sev puri, basket chaat etc. This chutney tastes also good with pakoras and even in sandwich also.

This chutney can be made in a traditional mortar and pestle, we can even grind it to a fine paste in a mixer grinder. Here I have opted to grind because it’s less time consuming. Again there are two versions of this chutney a dry and a wet.

Today we will discuss the wet type of garlic chutney. Here I have added a tadka in the chutney but it’s completely optional. The tadka style of chutney is my personal favorite. I have added an onion also in the chutney but it’s optional.

Addition of onions increase the quantity of chutney without any changes in the taste and gives a nice texture to the chutney. The type of red chili used here is Kashmiri chili because it gives an fabulous color to the chutney but again you can use the chili of your choice.
