Red chili garlic chutney recipe with stepwise photos – this is a spicy red chutney for chaat recipes and is Made with just three ingredients – dry red chilies, garlic and salt. Sometimes I make this chutney when I make chaat snacks at home.
This red chilli garlic chutney Is versatile as it can be added to spice up a lot of chaat snacks like – sev puri, bhel puri, ragda patties, dahi puri, dahi papdi chaat, dahi vada. You can also use a bit of this chutney in wraps or as a side chutney with pakoras or veg momos.
There are three chutneys that are added to all the chaat snacks mentioned above –
- Green chutney made with mint & coriander leaves,
- Tamarind chutney or imli ki meethi chutney
- This red chili garlic chutney.
When I plan to make chaat, then I make these three chutneys a day before and refrigerate them.
- Green chutney stays good for 2 to 3 days.
- Tamarind dates chutney or saunth chutney for about 3 weeks to a month.
- Red chutney for a week
I always prepare this red chutney with Kashmiri red chilies as they give a good deep red color and are not very heaty. If you do not get Kashmiri red chilies, then use a variety of dry red chilies which are less hot. If not using the lesser hot chilies, then depending upon the heat in the chilies, reduce the amount. To make the chutney less hot, you can also deseed them.

how to make dhokla garlic chatney
akata, will try to post the recipe.
Mindblowing recipes it’s osam thanku
thank you gopal 🙂
one more dish tried, and thumbs up on this too!
But mine turned out to be really spicy, the color and taste are perfect.
Can i do anything to moderate the chilly part
thanks deepti. the spiciness is due to the heat quotient in the chilies. the spice and heat factor varies with the quality and type of chilies. you can just add some more water and make the chutney slightly thin in consistency. or you can add a roasted chana dal powder to the chutney. taste will change though. another option is to add ground roasted sesame seeds or ground roasted peanuts. here also the taste will change.
A nice and simple explanation… It was too easy to be made….. Liked it a Lot……….
thanks anuj
thanks for posting the chutney recipie i jst simply loved it… and i must say u guys really explain the steps well….!!!
welcome chandni and thanks for your kind words.
The recipe has come out very well and since I am a person who likes spicy things, this has appealed to me a lot and I basically loved it. The color indicates the spicy nature of it. I guess this goes a very well combination for pakodas and bondas. So with this in mind I am gonna try out this recipe tomorrow evening with hot pakodas. In this regard already I have decided to buy the best chilly available.
Thanks for the recipe!!
Very nice red colour, it looks very hot but you have used Kashmiri mirch then ,no problem. Good idea of using them for chat.
thanks sadhna
