My favorite condiment as a child was the dry garlic chutney that could accompany anything, rice, paranthas, vada pav. So good with everything.

Here is my recipe

200g dried unsweetened coconut flakes ( 1 packet)

¼ cup sesame seeds

1 head garlic

10 arbol chillies

3 tbsp degi mirch (or regular chilli powder or cayenne pepper)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp oil

Add oil to a pan with the chillies, heat till you can smell the chillies. Toast the sesame seeds and coconut flakes till they just start to turn brown.

Add to a blender or food processor with the garlic (I used my trust Vitamix which makes micemeat of the sesame seeds)

Refrigerate for, oh I don’t know, several months? It never lasts that long in my house.
