This Red Chilli Chutney recipe got us drooling, already!

Surprise your friends by making this hot and tangy delight at home

Winter is incomplete without porotas and fried food, and these delectables can be best enjoyed with a dollop of spicy and tangy ‘chutney’! This weekend, ditch your store-bought pickles and whip up a homemade red chilli ‘chutney.’ With only a few ingredients and simple steps, the recipe is super easy to follow and the result is as mouth-watering as it gets.

Ingredients:

·       Red chillies

·       Shallots

·       Tamarind

·       Curry leaves

·       Salt

Method:

·    Heat some oil in a kadhai. Add a handful of red chillies and saute lightly. Take the chillies out and keep them aside.

·    Add chopped onions to the oil and saute. Add a dollop of tamarind pulp. When the onions get a light brown colour, take them out of the oil.

·    Take the sauteed red chillies and onions in a bowl. Add some curry leaves and salt to taste. Grind the ingredients until you have a fine paste-like consistency. Finish by adding a little bit of oil and mix well. Your chutney is ready!
