The Indian street food known as vada pav, which are delicious potato fritter sliders, it’s likely that you have tasted the magic known as dry garlic chutney. Made with just few ingredients in 15 minutes.
You can distinctly taste both the desiccated coconut and garlic in this chutney. The spice and heat comes from red chili powder. I used Kashmiri red chili powder to give the chutney a bright, deep reddish-orange color.
There are many variations of making this vada pav chutney where a few spices like coriander and cumin are also added. Some variations also add roasted peanuts.
Here I have sautéed the garlic first so its pungency is reduced and the raw bite of garlic goes away.
