Already I have shared a Kara chutney recipe, this has the same ingredients but little different in the cooking process. Here in this version, Kara chutney consumes less time with the same flavor, I have used less number of red chilies because of my kids, but you could use 2 to 3 chilies more than this for more spiciness, as the name Kara Chutney (Kara means spicy).
