Garlic chutneys are always pungent, but this fresh and raw version gets top score on this criterion. Made of chopped garlic, spice powders and tamarind pulp, the Fresh Garlic Chutney involves no cooking, and can be prepared in a jiffy. A dash of lemon juice is required to enhance the flavour and to preserve the chutney, which can be refrigerated and used as required.
Creamy low-fat curds pair remarkably well with the assertive flavours of basil, pepper, salt and lemon rind. This colourful dressing comes alive, thanks to grated apple and basil. To avoid the usual cholesterol from high-fat cream used in salad dressings, this recipe makes use of low-fat curds instead of cream.
