This is one of my mothers favourite a very ordinary garlic , jeera (cummin) and red chillie ( the kashmiri chilly , which gives off the colour but is not so hot ) Paste, that she makes in bulk and sends to us for use in our various reciepes. For me it is a Must Have Paste in my freez , am lost without this.
It also doubles up to use as a sandwich paste with Butter and cheese and on chappatties for Frankies .
Ingredients:
250 gms Shelled Garlic pods
3 big Tbsps Jeera or cummin powder ( i prefer to powder at home , gives off that fresh aroma ).
2 / 3 big serving spoon of red kashmiri chillie powder
a pinch of salt
1/2 teacup vinegar ( water is not used for this paste )
1 tsp cooking oil ( so that the masala keeps from spoiling )
Method:
Mix all the ingredients together in the chutney grinder till well blended . Should be of the consistency that you can spoon out. like a thick paste .
If you feel u need to add in some more liquid just add a bit more of cooking oil.( But please see that its not drenched in oil.)
Scoop out into a large glass jar or any stoppered pot that u have and use as and when you want .
It can also be watered down a bit to make as Bhel Puri Chutney...... just take the required amount out into a small bowl and add water to make a liquid thick enough to lace your dish, along with the regular green chutney and date chutney that we use for Bhel Puri, or onto the Curd sev puri.
Makes a Lovely Red Garnish
Go on folks try it and let me know if you like it and do try out some more innovations with it... Its endless .
This Masala or paste has been parceled and taken the world over by my family and friends and their friends ... :)
so enjoy!

Hi!!!!!!!!!!
Really Vee ur recipes r real items . This can also be used in chicken wid the salt n just boil it.
when chicken is done remove it from heat n add one tbsp of tomato sauce n cashew paste, mix well n again simmer for some time.
Trust me this dish is rich n very tasty.
Can be served wid boiled Rice or parathas.
Do let me know when u try it out
