BM #115 Week 2 Day 1 -
This week I have chosen to showcase some condiments which can enhance your everyday meal. Today's Lahsun ki chutney is from the state of Rajasthan and it is a very popular version at home.
My family is a great fan of garlic and so this overdose of garlic was a delight for them.
Ingredients -
Dry Red Chilies 4-5
Garlic Cloves chopped 2-3 Tbsp (about 7-8 cloves)
Tomato chopped 1/2 cup
Salt as needed
Oil 1 tsp and Jeera 1/2 tsp
Method Of Preparation -
Soak the dry red chilies in water for about 5-10 minutes. Drain the water and toss the chilies into the blender.
Also add garlic and tomatoes to the blender and grind to make a fine paste.
Heat a pan, add oil and cumin seeds (jeera). After the cumin seeds crackle, pour the paste from the previous step and cook on a medium flame while mixing continuously.
After the water is evaporated and the chutney thickens, add salt and remove from heat.
Serve it as part of a meal or with any appetizer.
Preparation Time 15 minutes
Makes 1/2 cup
