Lassune chutney pitti ( Dry Garlic Chutney Powder)

I learnt this from my mother in law. She is an expert in chutney powders and used to prepared and give us bottles as and when we visited them . Without chutney powder our lunch is not complete.  This can be stored  for a month and should be kept in airtight         container or dry glass jar.   No need refrigerate it.   This goes well with dosa, idly or rice. No need to  add oil while eating this.
