How To Use Dry Garlic Chutney
Chutneys like this one, or the coconut green chutney, mango onion chutney, or meyer lemon chutney form an important part of Indian Meals. A little spicy or toasty, savory flavored chutney is a great way to add flavor to your meal, without having to make an elaborate side dish. These chutneys are used as relishes, as a small side flavor to complement the main meal. They’re often eaten with a small piece of naan, chappati, or roti. But as often, they’re mixed in with ghee and eaten with plain rice. So it’s really up to you where you want to add in the flavor. When I first posted this in the Facebook Two Sleevers Group, it started a lively discussion on all the various things you could use this for. A few ideas that emerged, some of which are traditional, and others of which are innovative and perfect sounding:
With ghee and riceWith ghee and chappatisOver steamed buttered vegetablesMixed in with mayonnaiseMixed in with thick yogurt as a dipMixed with butter and spread on bread and toasted like an Indian version of garlic bread
Once you taste it, you might have other ideas and I’d love to hear them in the comments.

Substitutions You Can Make
But if you don’t want to get them just yet, I’d suggest you omit them and just use garlic and sesame seeds along with the red chile and the salt. It will still be a very tasty chutney, just different from what I’m making here. If you like it, you can then consider getting some curry leaves to add a wonderful, savory flavor to this Dry Sesame Garlic Chutney.
How Long Does It Last?
When you’re making this Dry Garlic Chutney, don’t be afraid to make a double batch. When stored in a cool, dry place, it will safely last up to a week–no need to refrigerate!
