Garlic Chutney Recipe, Red Garlic Chutney for Dhokla

red garlic chutney recipe dry garlic chutney recipe

Garlic chutney or lehsun chutney recipe is a simple, spicy and tasty chutney prepared from garlic. This red garlic chutney goes really well with Dhoklas especially Khatta dhokla. Garlic gives great flavor and aroma to dish and that’s the reason why it is used widely in Indian and Italian cuisine.

This spicy red garlic chutney has dry texture and is must for dhokla dishes like muthia, khatiya dhokla or even handvo. I make this chutney in large quantity and store it in refrigerator for later use. I use it in making different curries also. Instead of fresh garlic or garlic paste we can add red garlic chutney in day to day sabjis like rasawala batata, vaal sabji, etc. Even you can make masala dahi and gujarati dhebra using this lehsun ki chutney.

We are making this red garlic chutney (lehsun chutney) without water. This is because we want to store it for longer time in refrigerator. That’s the reason why we added oil instead of water. It acts as a natural preservative and helps the garlic chutney stay fresh for longer period of time.

This chutney is prepared in almost all the Gujarati homes especially for travelling. As this chutney stay fresh for long time it is usually prepared for long distance train journeys and picnics / holidays. The aromatic garlic chutney is consumed with gujarati thepla along with curd / yogurt.
