Ingredients
- 10 pieces Dried red chilies
- 5 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Tamarind pulp
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Remove the stems from the dried red chilies and briefly rinse them under water. Drain the excess water.
In a small bowl, soak the dried red chilies in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them. Drain and set aside.
Peel the garlic cloves and keep them ready.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the soaked red chilies to the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes, until they start to emit their aroma.
Next, add the garlic cloves and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes, ensuring the garlic does not burn.
Remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Transfer the chili-garlic mixture to a blender. Add the tamarind pulp, salt, sugar, and water.
Blend to a smooth paste. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender a couple of times to ensure an even texture.
Taste the chutney and adjust salt or sugar if needed.
Transfer the prepared red chutney to a clean, airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, using as desired with snacks and meals.
