Chili Garlic/Poondu Milagai Chutney

A chutney for spice and garlic lovers. I personally like garlic and add it to most of my recipes, this is a habit I have inherited from my mom.
This chutney can be used as a versatile sauce and can be stored in an air tight container for a longer shelf life. 
Garlic has lots of medicinal qualities.....prevents blood clotting, maintains blood pressure and even has anti cancer properties. Try this fiery spicy chutney.....
