    About the Recipe

    This Red Chutney for Sandwich recipe calls for chilli paste using dry red chillies, ginger, garlic, peanuts and lemon juice. The use of fresh ginger and garlic imparts this chutney with an incredible flavour. Adding peanuts gives this red chilli chutney a rich and creamy texture whereas, lemon juice balances out by adding a tangy zingy flavour.

    This chilli chutney is prepared using Kashmiri chillies (dry), well known for imparting dark red colour to the food, and while at the same time, these are easy to tolerate. The consistency of this red chili chutney should be slightly thick enough to spread on the sandwich.

    I believe chutney is the best way to uplift your regular food if you want to spice up your food.

    Ingredients for spicy red chutney

    To prepare a red chutney sandwich, we need the following items:

    labelled ingredients for red chutney
    Items required for spicy red chutney
    • Dry red chillies
      • I use Kashmiri dry red chillies. I have used it as such without removing seeds. If you like a less spicy version of the chutney, be sure to remove the seeds before soaking.
      • These are mildly spicy and give brilliant colour to the chutney.
      •  If Kashmiri red chillies are unavailable, use any dry red chillies in your pantry.
    • Ginger
      • One inch of ginger is sufficient for the recipe.
      • Ginger aids digestion, and I believe it is the best way to include fresh ginger in our diet.
    • Garlic
      • Use a fresh one if you can.
      • There is no comparison between using fresh garlic and store-bought paste.
    • Lemon juice
      • Lemon juice adds sourness to the chutney and gives it a tangy taste.
    • Oil
      • We need oil for tempering the chutney.
      • Any vegetable oil works best for the recipe. Be sure it is odourless.
    • Peanuts
      • Peanuts add a thick texture to the chutney.
    • Spices
      • Salt, garam masala and red chilli powder (optional) for a spicer chutney version as per taste.

    How to store red chutney for sandwich

    • It can stay fresh for 12-15 days if stored properly in the fridge.
    • It is necessary to cool down the sauce completely before storing it.
    • Store it in a clean, dry, airtight glass jar.
    • Take care not to use a wet spoon each time you use sauce.

    Tips n suggestions

    1. Add sugar if you like a sweeter version of the chutney.
    2. To prevent the chutney from sticking to the bottom, always cook this red chilli chutney on low heat.
    3. To make this red sandwich chutney less spicy, remove the seeds from the chillies before using them.
    4. If you want it to store for a long time, add a little high quantity of oil. It acts as a preservative.
    5. Using peanuts is optional. But the addition of these in the chutney gives it a rich texture. It also helps tone down the heat.
    6. Add red chilli flakes or Sriracha sauce while tempering to make it spicier.
    7. Always cool down before transferring to a jar/container for storage. I always leave it in the pan and store it the other day.
    8. Store in a clean, airtight glass container.
    9. Always store in the fridge.
    10. Be sure to use a clean and dry spoon to scoop out the chutney.
