A Quick No-Cook Lahsun Chutney


 When you want a punchy condiment for a meal, a no-cook Lahsun Ki Chutney can be made with garlic, cumin, red chilli powder, salt and lemon.

Crush or pulse the garlic and cumin into a coarse mixture. Add chilli powder gradually, then mix in salt and a little lemon juice. Taste before adding more chilli: the heat should suit the food you plan to serve it with.

Spoon the chutney alongside fresh thepla, bajra rotla or pakoras. It also adds a sharp note to a simple plate of khichdi. Because this version uses fresh garlic and has no cooking step, make a small batch for the meal and refrigerate any remainder promptly.

If you prefer a warmer, mellowed garlic flavour, try the cooked method too. Both are explained in the complete Kathiyawadi Lahsun Ki Chutney guide.
