Fresh, seasonal red chillies and lots and lots of garlic – there is just so much to love about this fiery chutney! 

We all know about Ammiji’s penchant for spice. She abhors blandness in her meals (and in her life too!). While green chillies stay her perennial favorite, it’s the big, fat red chillies that come in during the winters that have her heart. They’re not only so beautifully vibrant to look at, but taste delicious too! So it was but natural that Ammiji would work up some magic in her kitchen from them!

This chutney is the perfect amalgation of red-hot spice from the chillies and the umami from garlic. While most people make their lal mirch chutneys from dried chillies, Ammiji preferred making hers with the fresh red chillies, and then she made sure that she made enough chutney to last her the entire year!

Ammiji’s Lal Mirch chutney goes well with dal-chawal or sabzi-roti. We love it slathered on to our paranthas for that spicy kick that will make you sweat even in the winters.
