Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Garlic Yogurt Chutney

For a milder flavor, reduce the number of green chilies or use milder varieties.
Adding a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the tempering enhances the aroma and flavor.
For a richer flavor, use homemade yogurt or curd.
Adjust the amount of roasted gram flour to control the thickness of the chutney.
