Spicy Red Garlic Chutney | Rajasthani Lahsun ki Chutney

Red Garlic Chutney is an Indian spicy condiment popularly used to enhance the flavor of various dishes like Chaats, Sandwiches, Wraps, Vada pav, Dabeli, Thalis, Fritter, etc. It is hot and spicy because it uses a combination of garlic and spicy red chili powder majorly. You can make the red garlic chutney using simple ingredients that are readily available in your kitchen.

Spicy Red Garlic Chutney

Its red hot color comes from Kashmiri red chili powder. I made this red garlic chutney using oil, which acts as a preservative to increase its shelf life. If you do not like spicy food, then reduce the amount of red chili powder.

Garlic is used around the world for its pungent flavor as a seasoning/condiment food and medicinal purpose. It comes in a variety of forms like fresh garlic, garlic powder, garlic granules, garlic oil, etc. Garlic is known as Lasan in Gujarati and Lahsun/Lasun in Hindi. Garlic has numeric health benefits. Some of them are:

  • It helps to lower your cholesterol levels and blood pressure, thus keeping your heart healthy by preventing stroke.
  • It solves the problems related to the stomach, skin, and hair.
  • It has antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, antibiotic, and anti-inflammatory properties.
  • It boosts body energy levels and metabolism that burn all the calories, helping you to lose weight.

Red garlic chutney is sometimes also known as Rajasthani Lahsun ki Chatni or Lahsun ki Chutney as it is an essential accompaniment for any Rajasthani dishes (which are well known for their spiciness that arouses the taste buds). The famous Dal Bati Churma is incomplete without it. I add this chutney while preparing curry/sabzi to enhance its flavor. I also use it as a spread on paratha and Naan. This red chutney is versatile and best accompanied with any meal or snack. I also prefer to eat it with momos and fritters.
