Ingredients
- 2 whole pods Garlic (I used all the garlic as shown in the picture)
- 2 tsp Urad Dal
- 4 Red Chillies
- 1 tsp Coooking Oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
How to make Garlic Spread or Garlic Chutney
- Soak the garlic in water for 5 mins, peel the skin.
- Heat a nonstick pan with 1 tsp of cooking oil. Chop the garlic and sauté in hot oil. Simmer for 5 - 7 mins, while you keep stirring in intervals. Roast till the garlic turns soft or brown. Remove to a plate.
- Add urad dal to the pan, no need to add oil. Sauté well. When the urad dal starts browning, you can remove it to the same plate.
- Then, add dry red chilies. Quickly saute in the hot pan, if you notice there is no need to add cooking oil for this also. Once it's browned on all sides, remove and allow it to cool.
- Once all the ingredients reach room temperature, take them in a blender and add salt and blend to a smooth paste. If the mixer you use is not small enough to blend this to a smooth paste, you can add little cooking oil to aid it.
Notes
If you are planning to preserve the spread for a day or so, it's advised not to add water. Else, if you are planning to finish off the entire batch in one go, you may add some water to getting the smooth paste.
Once this is ready, proceed with spreading the dosa. When the dosa is cooked on both sides, spread 1 tsp of this spread on top and roll the dosa over to serve hot!
As optional you can add tamarind if you prefer.
