Spicy Garlic Chutney

Spicy Garlic Chutney

Popular Maharashtrian Chutney.

Ingredients :
1/4 cup Garlic clove pieces
1/4 cup raw peanuts
2/3 cup dry coconut powder (roasted)
salt to taste (around 1 tsp)
1 tsp Dry tamarind or dry mango powder
1/4 cup red chili powder

Method:
1) Roast peanuts and remove the peels. Grind peanuts into coarse powder.
2) If you are using whole Dry Coconut then grate the coconut. Roast grated coconut till it becomes golden brown. If you are using readymade grated coconut just roast it till the color changes to golden brown. Usually, this happens quickly, so you have to be watchful.
3) First put Garlic pieces and 1 tsp salt in a grinder and grind to fine paste. Then put roasted peanuts powder, roasted coconut, red chili powder, dry mango powder, and little salt (if needed) and grind for few seconds.

Note:
1) If dry tamarind is unavailable then you can use Dry mango powder.
2) If possible use whole dry coconut, grate at home. Fresh grated coconut enhances the taste of chutney.
