Garlic chutney recipe | Side dish for idli dosa

Recipe updated with video    
This garlic chutney is my all time favorite ,which i learnt from my mom. This is a quite popular chutney in Madurai, my home town.  Almost all the household make this,also we can get this in all road side eatery outlets too. Somehow my husband and kids don’t prefer this garlic chutney,since it is bit spicy from the normal one i make. So i don’t make often at home. Few days back when i made dosa for dinner, i thought of making this one for me . I enjoyed this with dosa and my family had dosa with coconut chutney!!

  38. Looks very yummy. I am just about to make my Dosa and was looking for a good chutney. This seems perfect. But, I am a bit doubtful if I should fry the onion and garlic or they remain raw? Wont it be very raw if not sauted?
