Actually, I am a big fan of long shelf life chutneys and I ensure to have a minimum of one chatni in my fridge. Basically, this chutney helps when you do not wish to make a dedicated chatni for a particular dish. Lahsun chutney is one of them sometimes this chutney added great taste to curries too. Especially when I am running short of time, I just add 1 big spoon of lehsun chutney in the masala it adds a flavour of garlic and chillies to my curries.

Tips and suggestions:
Furthermore, some easy and important tips, suggestions and variations to the popular lehsun ki chatni recipe or lehsun chutney.
Firstly, I heavily recommend using fresh garlic pods for this recipe. It has to be juicy and full of flavour and avoid any dry and stale garlic for this recipe.
Secondly, adjust the spice level of the chutney by increasing or decreasing the red chillies. In this recipe, I have maintained a medium spice level which should be appreciated by most of them.
lastly, store the chatni in an airtight container in a refrigerator. You can also store it in a dry place, particularly near the gas stove. This chutney has a good shelf life.
This is a fine example of one of the very hot chutneys and pickles that are consumed in the region of Rajasthan. This amazing chutney is made of kachri. If you are unable to find kachri, you can increase the garlic by the same amount (9 oz/250 g). If you find this chutney too hot balance the flavour with 1 tbsp ketchup. kachri you will find in stores that keep Gujarati and Rajasthani spices.
Finally, I would like suggest you few more chutney recipes from my blog:
