The Three Chutneys of Indian Cuisine are the three basic chutneys which are important for any chat. Or be it for any sides of a meal.
Whenever we talk about chat, the name of three chutneys first thing that comes to mind is Tamarind, Coriander & Chilly Garlic Chutney. A chat would be incomplete in the presence of these three. The non presence of the Three Chutneys of Indian Cuisine would be like a bride without its groom.
These three chutneys are always there in my fridge. I make a huge stock of Tamarind chutney , which can be stored about a year in fridge. As it grows old, the taste also develops further. I have done a separate post for Tamarind Chutney. You can check here . Its a huge batch, but the measurements are easily adjustable. And if you have any difficulties, you can always get in touch with me.
Let’s start with the recipe of second chutney i.e Chilly Garlic Chutney. There are two types of whole red chilly used in this recipe : Bhayadagi & Kashmiri. But if you don’t have any of these two. Then no issues. Indian cooking is all about adjustments. We call it jugad. You can use any variety of chilly and follow the same process. Same goes with oil. Usually, I use peanut oil for this recipe. But any cooking oil is also fine. The groundnut oil give a peculiar taste to this chutney, so we use it.
