vada pav chutney recipe | dry coconut chutney | dry chutney recipe 3 ways with step by step photo and video recipe. chatni recipes are perhaps one of the most underrated recipes from the rich indian cuisine. it is required by almost every snack, chaat, breakfast and even to the lunch and dinner but do not get the required attention to it. similar to these wet chatnis, there is a dry variant too which plays a significant role in enhancing the taste of the snacks recipes. this post tries to cover the 3 most important all-purpose dry chatni recipes for a complete meal.

i have posted quite a few wet or most chutney but i keep getting this request for the dry chatni variant. perhaps, this is because i keep using this in most of the video where it is either used as topping or kept as a side dish. hence i thought of sharing the 3 most popular dry chatni’s recipe video. the first one is the vada pav chutney which is also known as dry garlic chutney. this is known for its strong garlic flavour with a spice hint. it is particularly used while stuffing the bonda inside the pav. second, one is dry peanut chutney which is also known as multipurpose chutney powder. it can be used for snacks, rice and also for breakfast. the last one is dry coconut chutney from south indian cuisine. it is mainly used as a taste enhancer and served with dal rice or rasam rice combo.

furthermore, i would like to add some additional tips, suggestions and variants to the dry chutney recipes. firstly, for all the chutney powders, moisture or water addition is strictly prohibited. avoiding water not only helps to get the dry texture but also gives a better shelf life to the chatni’s. secondly, the addition of red chilli powder or dry red chillies is interchangeable. i have used both in these 3 recipes and you can swap them as you wish. also, if you like to have mild, you may reduce it as you like. lastly, the vada pav chutney or garlic chutney, may turn sticky and may not have the same texture as the other two. this is completely fine, and do not panic if it turns out so.
