Garlic Chutney

Garlic chutney is a simple & jiffy chutney. This chutney goes very well with Dosa more than Idly. Even though this chutney uses couple of other ingredients, the chutney emanates a strong garlic flavor while eating, which makes its taste quite unique. Garlic lovers are sure to enjoy this chutney. This chutney requires no seasoning. It can be consumed directly after grinding it.

I learnt this recipe from my mother-in-law.
