Notes:
1. This chutney tastes good without tempering. If you want you can temper with mustard seeds & curry leaves.
2. A pinch of tamarind can also be added to this chutney while grinding.
3. Don't fry the chutney for a long time after grinding which turns the chutney to taste bitter.
4. The color of the chutney depends on the red chili variety used.
