This lemon chilly chutney is an unusually hot and tangy chutney.Needless to say that it goes well with idlis and dosas and upma too.It requires very few ingredients and apt for those busy mornings when you don’t have time to grate coconut.So when you really want something hot and spicy then go for this lemon chilli chutney.I adapted this recipe from ChitrasFoodBook .Thanks chitra for this wonderful recipe,all at home enjoyed with soft idlis.I made some changes to the original recipe and here it goes..
