Indian Chutney Recipe with Red Chillies

You are going to love this Indian chutney recipe with red chillies.

Although I usually make this Indian red chutney recipe with red chillies to serve with dosas, it can be used with so many other dishes too.

If only making dosas could be as easy as making the chutneys to go with them. This is one easy Indian chutney recipe.

Yes, red chilli chutney goes great with dosas but it can also be used as a dip or smothered over a burger. The possibilities are endless.

If you are a chilli and garlic fan, this is definitely one to try.

Be sure to blend the ingredients until you have a nice smooth paste. There’s no point rushing. Those chana dhal lentils can be a bit crunchy if not blended well.

That or simply use this Indian chutney recipe on your next taco.
