Garlic Chutney

GARLIC is one of the main ingredients in some medicines that are given to purify blood or clear digestive problems. Its always good to add garlic in our food at times. This chutney is made once in a while as too much of this will create health problems to my grandmother.

Very easy to make, this chutney has a very different taste which will make you gobble down an extra idli or chappathi eaten along.

Ingredients:
Garlic Pods - 15 nos
Red chillies - 10 nos
Tamarind - size of a 25p coin
Salt to taste - preferably crystal salt
Oil to saute
Mustard seeds and Curry leaves for seasoning.
Method:
In a blender combine the garlic pods, red chili ( can be altered as per taste ), tamarind and salt. Crystal salt gives a different taste, that's why this is been used. Grind to make a smooth paste. Take care you do not add much water. In a pan heat oil and add mustard seeds along with curry leaves. To this add a little more oil and pour the garlic paste to the pan. Saute the chutney under low flame till you get a nice aroma of the chutney. Serve it with hot, crispy dosa or chapatti.
