    A garlicky, spicy, tangy instant Garlic Chutney to add heat and flavor to your dishes. This family version of garlic chutney is perfect to serve with sandwiches or your favorite chaat recipe! Garlic Chutney is also known as lasan ni chutney for Gujaratis or lahsun ki chutney in other regions of India. It is a spicy garlic chutney staple to many Indian dishes.

    My dad and his brothers all make a similar version of Lasan ni chutney recipe. My Uncle worked with me on developing this recipe! 

    This recipe uses a LOT of garlic. I’m lucky my mother-in-law peels fresh garlic for me in batches so I can use it as needed. I will never peel garlic again😂 An easy way to peel garlic is to smash the entire bulb carefully with the flat part of a knife. This separates the garlic from the skin and makes it easier to remove. 

    I like to keep the chutney a spreadable consistency as I can always water it down based on the food I’m using it for.

    We love using this chutney when making sandwiches or dishes like chaat cups or samosa puffs.

    📋 Ingredients For Garlic Chutney

    garlic chutney ingredients
    • Lots of garlic!
    • Kashmiri Chili Powder. You can buy Kashmiri chili powder at any Indian grocery store. Amazon also has the Laxmi Brand Kashmiri Chili Powder available.
    • Ketchup, because we like the tomato flavor this gives. You can also use a bit of tomato paste if that's what you prefer.
    • Ginger, because we love ginger in our family and add it to almost every Indian dish! You are welcome to omit this but I really think it gives an amazing flavor.
    • Other flavors: Ground cumin, salt, and lemon juice.

    🍽 Storage

    The chutney can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for about 1-2 weeks. Adding a layer of oil will help keep the chutney slightly longer. You can also freeze the chutney. I have also been enjoying these squeeze bottles to store them so I can just squeeze them directly onto what I am using for that day.

    To Freeze: Spoon it into an ice cube tray (this one is our favorite!) and let it freeze. After it freezes, remove it from the ice cube tray and place it in a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag (I like to use these reusable ones). Freeze for up to 6 months. When thawing, you can remove as many cubes as needed and keep them refrigerated or at room temperature until thawed!
