The South Indian Style Garlic chutney is a very spicy and super delicious roasted garlic chutney which is perfect for dosa, upma, or even rice.
Whenever I make South Indian Upma, Dosa, Uttapam or any other snack there has to be a South Indian STyle Chutney. I mean, I can’t or should I say won’t serve the SI dishes with our North style mint or some other chutney. I mean I know it wouldn’t taste as good as with them.
That being said, the chutney tastes AMAZING, it literally would make you go gaga over. I served the chutney with quick semolina dosa and we all loved it. I haven’t ever thought that garlic would taste so tempting in chutney. The recipe is adapted from FoodViva and is definitely a keeper recipe if you like garlic.
Here are some more South Indian Chutney recipes:
