Red Garlic Chutney is a piquant chutney. This 2-ingredient chutney is very striking due to its bright red colour and conjures up a gastronomic experience even before eating. Add it to Papdi Chaat for flavour enhancement.
Garlic Chutney for Chaat
This chutney is special for chaats and is not the same as Gujarati Lasan ni Chutney which is pounded by hand and has its own uses – it is usually eaten as a condiment in everyday Indian dinners.

Ingredients for Red Garlic Chutney
● Red Chilli Powder – I use Kashmiri Chilli Powder due to its bold pillar box red colour. It is also a lot milder in spice than other chilli powders.
As we need a large quantity of chilli powder to make the chutney, we want to use milder chilli powder. You can, of course, use stronger red chilli powders if you can handle the heat!
● Garlic – we have used garlic cloves as they give a fresh burst of flavour. You can also use garlic powder to save time.
Just mix together red chilli powder and garlic powder with some water until smooth – this is my go-to when I am pushed for time.
Tips for handling garlic – cover your hands in a little oil before peeling to prevent the smell of garlic transferring to your fingers and nails.

How to make Red Garlic Chutney
2. Add a little water to loosen until you achieve a smooth but still thick chutney.
For chaat, add a little more water to keep it runny and easier to serve with chaat.
