Bright Garlic and Red chilli Chutney
Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe is from the streets of Mumbai, India. They usually serve a snack called Bhel Puri wherein they mix 3 different types of chutneys. One is sweet, one is herby and this one is spicy.
You can have this chutney as a dip or spread on a toast.
