Spicy kara chutney recipe with onion, tomato and both green red chillies and black pepper for extra spiciness. I always make onion tomato chutney with coconut if I am making. But last week when I saw a video, I was tempted to make something spicy that is served in roadside shops as kaara chutney, that is slightly watery. And ended up with this chutney. This was super spicy, just the way I wanted. This should be handy when I have no coconut in hand. Perfect for idli and all types of dosa.
