Lasan ki chutney is indispensible part for Rajasthani cuisine. This hot fiery garlic chutney represent the colorful, courageous and spirited people of Rajasthan. This chutney is made in Rajasthan year around but it is especially relished more in winter because of its high heat intensity. Rajasthani people like to eat it with dal-bati and bajra ki roti (millet flour flatbread). Read about the medicinal benefits of garlic here.

Ingredients

2 pods of whole garlic
6-8 Fresh red chilies
1 tomato
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1/4th teaspoon mustard seeds
1/4th teaspoon garam masala (optional)
2 tablespoon oil
salt to taste

Method-

Peel the garlic cloves. Crush half of the cloves with the belan (rolling pin) and half in the mortar and pastel or if you are in hurry grind it in the food processor but try to keep it coarse.
Make paste of the red chili's.
In a pan heat the oil and add cumin and mustard seeds
Add garlic and sauté till it changes it color to light brown.
Add red chili paste and other spices.
Add finely diced tomato.
Cook for 8-10 minutes or till it takes the consistency of chutney.

Notes-

If fresh red chili's are not available you can use soaked dried red chili's.
You can also use half red capsicum + 2 teaspoon red chili powder instead of 6-8 fresh red chili's.
Store in a container and refrigerate. It will remain fresh for more than a month.
