Wishing all my reader’s a very Happy and prosperous Diwali! I hope everyone is having a ‘blast’ 🙂 Red chutney, a hot & spicy chutney with a prominent garlic flavor is a must for all Indian chaat snacks. It adds loads of flavor and works in harmony with the other 2 essential chaat chutneys i.e. coriander-mint chutney or green chaat chutney & Date-tamarind chutney or sweet chaat chutney.
This red chaat chutney is so simple to prepare at home, all you need are just 3 basic ingredients, dried chilli and garlic of course as the name suggests and some lemon juice to brighten this chutney up further which also balances the spice from the chillies.
INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE RED CHUTNEY FOR CHAAT
1.De-seed the Kashmiri chillies, also discard the stalk and inner membrane & soak it in 1 cup of hot water for about an hour. I sometimes soak it in normal water and leave it overnight.
2.In your mixer/blender, add all the ingredients, blend to a smooth paste, using 1 tablespoon of purified/boiled water if needed. The chutney is ready. If using immediately, you can remove some chutney in a separate bowl, add little water for a dropping consistency. Store the remaining chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Stays good for about a week when refrigerated.
