Poondu chutney (Garlic chutney)
So, we went to see my parents this past weekend. Man, oh man! Talk about having feasts! Amma and I made this chutney to eat with idli and sambar. This one is pungent and spicy. Plus, it is soooooo EASY! You will have yummy poondu chutney ready in literally 5 minutes time.
Just so you know... This chutney is not for the faint of heart or those who have immense concerns about having garlic breath. To those I ask this: Isn't getting garlic breath worth it to eat a yummy chutney? Besides, God invented mouthwash and breath mints for a reason! :) Ok, ok. Enough chit-chat. Let's get on with the recipe. Ok?
Ingredients:
Garlic - 3 cloves
Whole red chillies - 15 or to taste
Salt
For seasoning:
Mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Sesame oil or any light oil
Method:
People, this is so easy, it's almost embarrassing to write a method section! Just grind the garlic with the red chillies and salt in a mixie. Do the seasoning and pour over the freshly ground chutney. Enjoy spicy garlic chutney with idli, dosa!

Thanks for the recipe dear! My aunt would add some tamarind pieces while grinding this. I like your version too. Enjoyed the intro and laughed at the breath mint:)
