Rajasthani Garlic Chutney

April 25, 2017 by aliceineatland Leave a Comment

Rajasthani Garlic Chutney

Fiery, garlicky and lipsmackingly delicious, Rajasthani Garlic Chutney goes perfectly with a variety of curries, rice dishes and parathay.

I have had a fondness for garlic and ginger from a surprisingly young age. As a young child, anything garlicky or gingery would get me salivating and now as an adult, I’m even fonder of any savoury dish with these two ingredients in abundance.

Rajasthani Garlic Chutney

Back in the ’90s, there used to be a pickle shop in Lahore called “Achaar Ghar” that stocked an amazing variety of pickles, from the regular types to the more unusual ones. I particularly remember their garlic pickle and the ginger pickle – both so good. It was said that the shop was owned by Pakistani actress Shehnaz Sheikh’s Dad and he made all the pickles himself. I do wish the shop was still around as the pickles it stocked tasted superb.

So thanks to Achaar Ghar, I was first introduced to the idea of condiments made entirely out of garlic and ginger. When I saw a photo of Rajasthani Garlic Chutney on Pinterest, I just knew this was going to be fabulous and I had to try it.

The first time I made Rajasthani Garlic Chutney, I had my family members coming to the kitchen one by one to find out exactly what was being cooked as the whole house smelled fantastic. This yummy and beautiful looking chutney is now a regular feature on our dining table at family meals.

As exotic as this Rajasthani Garlic Chutney sounds, it is surprisingly easy to make with pretty simple ingredients. Kashmiri red chilli powder can be substituted with regular red chilli powder but the finished chutney might not be as vibrantly fiery red. The original recipe can be found here.
