Another   mom's remedy, when ever our servant used to complain of pain in her fingers due to peeling off the skin around her finger tips,my mom used to fry some garlic along with some salt and used to tie them around her finger and believe me the pain just vanishes within no time.so garlic is a very useful herb.I try to add this in my daily diet in some forms.Today i want to share this tasty garlic chutney which we use to carry when we used to travel by train  along with our soft idlies.Let me start with the ingredients for this lovey chutney.
