Recipe for மொளா சாந்து – Mola saandhu. Super spicy Raw garlic chilli chutney. Tamil style spicy raw chutney. Recipe with step by step pictures.

Weapons grade Mola saandhu – Super spicy Raw garlic chilli chutney. I made “மொளா சாந்து – Mola Saandhu” that took the tamil twitter world by storm a few months back. Mola is molaga / chilli and saandhu is paste. This is a super spicy chutney where everything is ground raw. Raw garlic and raw shallots are very good for the gut. Spice level for this chutney is 10/10. This is for spicy food lovers only 🙂

Here is the recipe. You will need the following ingredients. The original recipe did not have jaggery. But I really like to add a small piece of it as it balances the pungency of garlic and shallots well without over powering.

Dry roast the chillies. I use a combination of the regular guntur chillies and my favorite byadagi chillies. The byadagi chillies are not hot. But they give a very nice colour to the chutney. If you cannot get byadagi chillies, please substitute kashmiri red chillies. Also adjust the chillies according to the taste of your family.

Take a small mixie jar and add all the ingredients to the mixie. Do not add any water. The oil added will nicely emulsify into a smooth paste when ground. Pulse several times so it all comes together as a fine paste.

Grind to a fine paste.

Now comes the important step. The chutney needs to rest for a couple of hours so everything can marinate well in the oil and the flavours will develop.
