    Chilli Chutney Recipe

    It's been a while since i posted any chutney recipe. I love trying different chutney recipes.

    Chilli Garlic Chutney is for those spice lover and garlic lover. So it fits me perfectly. It is spicy tangy and very very garlicky. I love it so much, usually I make a jar of it every now and then and keep it in fridge and use as needed. This has very long shelf life as well. I served this with my egg paniyaram.

    About Chilli Chutney Recipe

    Chilli Chutney is one of the basic and popular chutney recipe. In the past chillies are either roasted in the coal till it is charred and then pounded with other stuff in a mortar and pestle. I have a fancier version of roasted tomato chutney.

    Now we don't have that much time on hand. So make chutney faster and easier. This is one such recipe in which you take all ingredients and puree in a blender. Then cook that in gingelly oil. Gingelly oil in milagai chutney is really delicious since it adds a mild aroma to the chutney and it is one of the healthiest oil.

    What is Chutney Recipe?

    In Indian cuisines, chutney is a spread. Chutneys come in a variety of flavours including tomato relish, yoghurt or curd, cucumber, spicy coconut, spicy onion, or mint sauce.

    Thogayal or thuvayal (Tamil) are preparations similar to chutney but with a pasty consistency in Tamil Nadu. Pacchadi is another name for it in Andhra Pradesh. It is also known as chammanthi in Kerala and tokku or pacchadi in Telangana. When the word chutney is used alone, it refers to thengai chutney, a coconut-based chutney.

    Ingredients for Chilli Chutney

    chilli garlic chutney ingredientsPin

    Red Chillies

    Red chilli is an ingredient used to enhances the flavour and colour of food. It contains medicinal and homoeopathic properties. Chillies have a strong flavour so use it cautious. Also you can use fresh red chillies or in dry form as required.

    Garlic

    Garlic has a distinct, pungent flavour that, when raw, borders on spicy and, when cooked, borders on nutty. It loses its acrid raw flavour when dried and crushed into garlic powder, making it ideal for seasoning dishes.

    Tamarind

    Tamarind is essential ingredient in chilli chutney. Since it adds the essential tangy taste to the chutney. Lemon juice can be added in the chutney for tangy taste, but tamarind is used traditionally.

    How to Make Milagai Chutney (Chilli Chutney)

    Any chutney or condiment starts with sauteing ingredients together and then moves to grinding the ingredients. The texture of the chutney totally depends upon you. You can make it smooth of coarse as you prefer. Later the chutney gets a tempering.

    Frying

    Dry red chillies or fresh red chillies are sauted with garlic, onions(optional) till it gets nice colour. If you don't wish to fry the ingredients you can grind them and then cook them in the tempering oil.

    Grinding

    Using a food processor will give you coarse chutney while Indian blender will result in smooth puree. You can use the pulse option in the blender to make coarse puree.

    Tempering

    Tempering plays an important part in boosting the flavours of chutney. Use gingelly oil (indian sesame oil) for maximum flavour.


    Storing & Shelf Life of Chilli Chutney

    To extend the shelf life of chutney make sure you use minimum water when grinding. Even if you used extra water, make sure you cook them off in hot oil till oil separates. This helps to extend the shelf life of any chutney. Specially this milagai chutney | chilli chutney can be stored more than a week under refrigeration.

      I was actually looking for dry red chiili churney. Anyways, your chutney looks delicious. I think, I can use dry red chilies also after soaking it for awhile.
