This is a classic Indian chutney that is spicy, tangy and garlicky and makes an excellent dip. Traditionally it is served as an accompaniment for Indian momos. The origin of this recipe is probably a Sino-Indian fusion as it uses Szechuan peppercorns.

Ingredients

6 dried red chilies
2 medium tomatoes
5 garlic cloves
1/4 tsp black peppercorns
¼ tsp Sichuan peppercorns
A pinch of sugar
Salt to taste
Water, as needed

Method:

Cut off the green ends of the tomatoes. Make two criss-cross slits at the other end. Place them in a microwave safe bowl along with the red chilies. Add 4 tbsp water and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes. Leave to cool slightly. (To cook on stovetop, place tomatoes and red chilies in a saucepan and cover with water. Boil for 7-8 minutes or until soft)

Place cooled tomatoes and red chilies in a food processor. Add the garlic, black peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns and sugar. Season to taste with salt. Grind to smooth paste.

Store in a sterilized air tight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for a week.

If you would like a deeper red colour, you can and ½ tsp Kashmiri chilli powder.
