Garlic chutney, also referred to as lahsun chutney, lahsun ki chutney, lehsun chutney and bellulli chutney, is a chutney, originating from the Indian subcontinent, made from fresh garlic, dry or fresh coconut, groundnuts and green or red chili peppers.[1][2][3][4] Cumin and tamarind are also sometimes used as ingredients.[3][5][6][7] It is prepared in both wet and dried forms.[8] The wet variety is made with fresh grated coconut and is typically served immediately after preparation.

Dry variety

The dry variety is a commercial product purveyed in packets and jars.[9] Homemade dried garlic chutney can be stored in bottles and will last up to four weeks. When refrigerated, it can be kept for up to six months.[8] It is eaten either dry or mixed with yogurt,[3] curd, buttermilk or vegetable oil. It is sometimes prepared in a powdered form.
