My family likes to have hot idlys along with two chutneys for dinner.Most of the times I make either make coconut chutney or peanut chutney and tomato chutney,garlic chutney.
This chutney I had it in one of my friend's place,we all liked it very much.These days I make this chutney very often instead of coconut chutney to accompany with hot idlys.
It can be made in no time if you are using silvered almonds,as the whole almonds needs to be soaked and peeled.
The richness of the almonds and the flavor of ginger,garlic makes this chutney delicious and tempting.Lets get into the recipe.....................................

| Garlic/poondu | 1 clove |
| Ginger/inji | 1/4 inch piece |

| .Mustard seeds/kadugu | 1/8tsp |
