Green Garlic Chutney Ingredients
Green Garlic: is the star of the recipe. It is young garlic that has not yet matured, giving a milder flavor than mature garlic bulbs. Both the green garlic stems and white garlic bulbs are used in this recipe. It adds a fresh, slightly spicy kick to the chutney.
Coriander Leaves (Cilantro): adds a freshness to the chutney. The garlic bulb’s pungency is reduced because of the freshness that green coriander leaves add to the chutney.
Green Chilies: add spice to the chutney. You can adjust the quantity based on your liking.
Roasted Gram Dal: acts as a thickening agent. You can use roasted peanuts or grated coconut as a substitute.
Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice balances the taste of the chutney and is used to preserve the chutney and prevent discoloration. Alternatively, you can substitute lemon juice with a small piece of tamarind.

Step 1 – Wash the Green Garlic
