Ingredients:
| Lemon | 1 |
| Red chilli | 8 |
| Small onions | 2, finely chopped |
| Salt | As needed |
TO Temper:
| Oil | 2 tsp |
| Mustard | 1/2 tsp |
| Urad dal | 1 tsp |
| Curry leaves | A sprig |
Method:
- Grind red chillies with salt and little water. Transfer to the serving bowl and mix in the lemon juice ( adjust them lemon juice till you don’t feel the spiciness of chillies too much,I added almost 1 and3/4 tblsp)
- Temper with the tempering items given under the table and fry the onions till golden brown.
Mix well and serve with idly or dosa! we had with left over idly batter paniyarams(pulicha maavu paniyaram 😉). The chutney carries a wonderful flavor of the fresh lemon . I used our Indian variety so it was awesome! 
I was un able to blog regularly for following reasons 😉 😛 ,hope here after I can catch up with blogging as usual!
- House shifting
- Laptop touch pad was troubling
- No lens(still) for taking step wise picture

While tempering, after all the tempering items are roasted well, add onions
