Garlic Chutney

Garlic Chutney

I was introduced to this wonderful delight at my in laws’ place. This is my favorite accompaniment with theplas. This sweet, sour, spicy, tangy bursts of flavors in your mouth cannot be described. It can only be experienced.

There are three ways of eating this. One is mix one spoon of chutney is one small bowl of fresh yoghurt, second is to add it in oil. It sounds weird but it just tastes perfect with hot steamed dhoklas. Add one spoon chutney to 4 spoons of groundnut oil. Lastly you can eat it as is with theplas. You can find the recipe of thepla here.
