Start by soaking the dried red chilies in warm water for 10 minutes to soften them. Drain and set aside.
Peel the garlic cloves and keep them ready.
Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a small skillet on medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and let them crackle for 30 seconds.
Add the soaked red chilies and peeled garlic cloves to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the garlic turns golden and aromatic.
Transfer the sautéed chilies, garlic, and cumin seeds to a blender. Add the tamarind paste, salt, and 0.25 cups of water.
Blend until you achieve a smooth, thick consistency. If needed, add another tablespoon of water to adjust the texture.
Taste the chutney and, if desired, add stevia or erythritol for a slight sweetness to balance the spice and tang.
Transfer the chutney to a clean, airtight container and let it cool. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
