I have been searching for this chutney and referred many websites, finally found out something apt for my search. Usually I am a lover of Masala Dosa, after coming to Bangalore I saw mysore masala in the menu in a hotel and thought of trying out it. I was very delicious and was crazy for its taste. But sometimes the master in the hotel, prepares this red chili chutney very spicy and I feel bad to eat. Because of this reason my daughter who love this mysore masala also stopped eating. So I thought of preparing it at home.

I prepared this red chili chutney actually for this mysore masala dosa and I got it little leftover and stored it in an airtight container. The very next day I prepared Kodo millet Porridge and accompanied with this red chili chutney and coconut thuvaiyal, it was awesome.
