Thank you Rafee 🙂
I love garlic and cook with it often but have never considered a chutney. We will have to remedy that!
You will love this Ronda. Try it out 🙂
Frying garlic defo signifies somethign good going on. I would love to try this.
Thank you 🙂
Awesome! This might sound strange but upon reading the ingredients list I automatically envision myself using this recipe as a coating. It might be due in part to the coconut and peanuts, the course texture would probably work as a good fish/meat coating.
I’m sure it will work wonders Charla <3
Looks awesome Priya ! Will try this one.
Thank you 🙂
Such a must in Indian kitchens! Love this. We add this in some ghee rice too. Super yumm. This looks perfect Priya
