Green Garlic Chutney or Hare Lehsun ki chutney is a perfect Accompaniment to Phulka, chapati or with hot steaming Bajra Bhakaris. In Marathi it is called as Hirvya Lasanicha Thecha or Lasnichya Patichi Chutney.
During winters Green Garlic is available in Maharashtra in abundance. It’s widely used in making seasonal veg preparations like Khengat and chutneys. In Konkan, these chutneys are made with either fresh or dry coconut. The recipe that we are sharing is from the Marathwada region in Maharashtra which explains the inclusion of peanut in this recipe. The beauty of recipe lies in grinding this chutney without making use of water.
Traditionally these chutneys were grinded with mortar and pestle or with Paata Varvanta (grinding stone). This imparts not only very earthy flavor to chutney but retains its fresh green color naturally.
Post grinding this chutney is tempered(tadka) with mustard seeds and asafoetida. If you wish to skip tempering, then just add a tbsp of hot oil to chutney and store it in an airtight container in refrigerator. This helps in retaining the color of chutney and enhances its storage life too.
My MIL is already loving it and pairing her every meal with it. I serve this chutney with Besan Cheela, Parathas, Matar Ki Bharwan Poori and simple Dal Chawal too! So, you can make it as your comfort food too!
I prefer its chunky and coarse texture, but if you add little water and grind it to smooth paste then it would add a zest to your chutney sandwich or veg cheese grilled sandwich.
As it is said, “Good food is very often, even most often, simple food!”.
