Notes

  • Adjust spice level  according to your preference. I used kashmiri red chilli powder so it wasn't that spicy.
  • If you feel it very sour then adjust chilli powder and salt accordingly.
  • Its not too spicy as lemon juice and salt balances it. In addition gingelly oil also subsides the spicelevel in this chutney.
  • I prefer adding kashmiri red chilli powder, you can add half and half of regular chilli powder and kashmiri chilli powder.
