Garlic Chutney | Poondu Chutney | Belluli Chutney


Garlic - the wonder spice/veggie - needs no introduction either as a flavoring agent in cooking or as a medicine.  It is packed with antioxidants, lowers cholesterol, is a blood purifier, regulates blood sugar, prevents heart disease and strokes, prevents cold, cough - the list is endless.

Garlic Chutney or lehsun ki chutney - There are many variations to this chutney.  The taste differs depending on the ingredients used - onions or tomatoes or tamarind, chillies etc.  The dry version is prepared without using water can be stored for a few weeks.  It tastes so yumm with paratha or plain hot rice and ghee.  The wet/watery version needs to be used immediately and tastes good with idli, dosa, uthappam.

Am presenting here the dry version.  Do try it.
