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.

if you are looking for more chutney recipes then do check mint chutney, coriander chutney and curry leaves chutney.
