Red Chilli Chutney (Byadgi Mirsaangi Taambdi Chutney)

I always complained to Mom over breakfast on choice of chutney as a kid - White chutney or Red Chutney (White chutney is made of Ginger-Coconut and Red chutney is made of Red chillie-Coconut). Battles were waged over the choice of Chutney and today I smile as any food home made is divine and no arguments over that.

I love Taambdi chutney with any Dosa and love the flavor of chillies which spike up the flavor.
