Instructions
- Take a cup of water in a pan, bring it to rolling boil. When it is boiling, include red chillies and switch off. Let the chillies soak in hot water for about 15 minutes.
- After soaking time chillies would have turned soft, drain all the water from them. Keep aside. Next take 1/2 cup of chopped onion in a pan and saute till it turns translucent.
- Next add soaked red chillies, tamarind, jaggery, salt, cumin seeds, curry leaves, coriander leaves, garlic, and sauteed onion in to mixer jar.

- Spicy and gorgeously colored red chilly chutney is ready to serve with any rotti.
Notes
- I have chosen Kashmiri red chillies which are less in spice. According to your taste preferences, mix spicy and non spicy variety red chillies.
- While grinding you can use little water for ease. But it will reduce shelf life.
- This chutney stays well for a week outside refrigerator when no water included.
- Red chutney pairs well with jowar rotti, akki rotti and ragi rotti.
