garlic chutney recipe | lahsun ki chatni | lahsun ki chutney with a detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and tasty flavoured chutney recipe made with a generous amount of garlic cloves and coconut. it is an ideal condiment recipe known for its sharp and spicy taste. this chutney recipe is generally served as a side dish to rice, but also an ideal condiment to most of the south indian breakfast recipes.
in my blog, i have posted many variants of garlic chutney recipe and each recipe post is slightly different from others. basically, i have tried to cover different region’s lahsun ki chatni which differs with the ingredients and proportions of ingredients used. in north indian variant, coconut is never used and is made mainly with tomato and onion base. however, the south indian variant is made with coconut as its main base. some may add tomato or onion but depends upon the individual preference. in this recipe, i have tried to showcase north karnataka or maharashtra variant with a small portion of coconut in it. even though the majority of the base for this chutney is made with tomato, adding a small portion of coconut makes it an ideal condiment recipe.
anyway, before jumping into the actual recipe, i would like to mention some tips, suggestions and variants to garlic chutney recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using tender and fresh garlic pods for this recipe. as a matter of fact, i would recommend using fresh ones for any garlic-based recipe. secondly, i have roughly chopped or sliced the garlic pods and added to the chutney condiment. never ever, ground the garlic pods with tomatoes as it may lead to strong and pungent garlic flavour. lastly, the chutney should last long easily for 1-2 weeks if stored in an airtight container. also, i would recommend to store the container in the refrigerator and warm it before use so that ghee would meltdown.
