Spicy Red Chilli Chutney Recipe | Fiery & Flavorful Indian Condiment
This is one of the Tastiest chutney I have made in these times. Fresh Red chillies are seasonal, they look very attractive and appealing. I thought of making something different with this. It can be easily stored for up to 6 months in fridge. Generally I make bulk quantity and take out small portion, add tempering to it and enjoy with hot steam rice and ghee. This spicy and flavorful Red Chilli Chutney is a perfect Indian condiment made with fresh red chillies, garlic, and simple spices. It pairs wonderfully with dosa, idli, snacks, and rice, adding a fiery kick to every bite. So, without any delay let’s get started.
