Spicy Garlic Chutney Recipe with step by step pictures
Mister is the only person who loves all things spicy, all the time! So whenever I make any dish, I need to make one less spicy version and a super spicy version. Sometimes when that doesn’t happen, spicy sides like this Milagai Chutney comes in handy. I serve the regular side with this chutney and there are no complaints!
The Milagai chutney is really fiery and its my SIL’s recipe. So when we first tasted it in her place, I was sure to keep making it often.
Then I chanced upon this recipe from Sharmi’s space and thought it will be nice to have another recipe to fall back to. And yes, it was appreciated by the ‘spice-lover’!
This dish can be classified as a no cook recipe if we don’t consider the super hot oil poured over this chutney.
I made a few changes to the original recipe and made a small batch.Since only one person had this as a side , I kept it in the fridge for a week. It stayed good for that time. I am planning to make a bigger batch the next time.
A spicy side dish that goes well with South Indian Breakfast dishes.

I like garlic pods in pickles and this chutney preparation is similar to any pickle, but with garlic as the star ingredient.
Looks fiery PJ. Please mention the amount of chili powder in the recipe. I would love to make this for my husband.
wow another garlic chutney in BM’s posts. Looking yummy with the syrup and garlic pods. Will try this one too but in grinding way. Bookmarked.
We call this chutney as sudden chutney, simply love this chutney with crispy dosas. My family favourite chutney.
What a spicy and flavorful chutney you got there PJ. Looks amazing.
This almost looks like garlic pickle and I love them. I am really looking forward to making something with garlic and this is right on time. What a lovely recipe and I am bookmarking this right away.
That chutney sounds like something I can fall on when I fall short of my grandma’s garlic pickle that we all love and devor! Looks like a winner…
It surely looks super spicy PJ…I can’t wait to try this at home..very nice!
It sounds more like a garlic pickle to me but is looking so spicy and mouthwatering.
This quick Chutney with a layer of sesame oil oozing out is soooo tempting. Must be hot and yummy!
