Dogri Lehsun Chutney

Raw garlic and dried red chilli chutney — several cloves of raw garlic pounded with dried red chilli, salt, and a small amount of mustard oil into a sharp, fiery, pungent coarse paste. The raw garlic is not cooked or mellowed — its full intensity is preserved. Eaten with everything: rice, roti, khatte aloo, kalari, and any dal. The everyday chutney of Dogra households, especially in the rural and hillside areas where garlic grows prolifically.
