Lasun Chutney / Gujarati Garlic Chutney

GF DF V P

​

If you Love garlic this one's for you!

Inspired by my boyfriend's mother. Lasun chutney / garlic chutney is made from fresh garlic, dry coconut, ground sesame seeds, cumin and chilli powder. It is used for cooking in many Indian (especially Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab, Rajasthan and northern Karnataka) and Pakistani homes. Cooking with it can transform the flavour of any dish but using it as a condiment will make you want to eat it with everything!

​

Garlic is an incredible healer. It works as a triple threat against infections, offering antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. Not only is it effective at killing antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including MRSA, but it also fights yeast infections, viruses and parasites. Garlic can also help to lower LDL cholesterol and prevent atherosclerosis, reducing your risk of heart disease and stroke.
