Red chili chutney is a delicious chutney with so many complex flavours, Its sweet, spicy and tangy. It is a very versatile dip and can be used in so many ways. You can use this as a spread for rolls or sandwiches. Serve as a dip or chutney with Indian ,mexican, chinese or any type of snack of your choice. It pairs well with almost everything . I enjoyed it with my garam aloo parathas 🙂
This red chili chutney is specially made during winters when good quality of fresh red chilies are available in abundance. I already made a big batch of stuffed red chilies and still some fresh red chilies left to be used . So I tried this red chili chutney and it turn so good that the jar is finished next day with crip hot pakoras and spring rolls weekend party.
The red chilies I have are quite spicy so i used this much quantity of sugar and vinegar to balance the taste but if you are trying the recipe then do check the spiciness of your chilies and then adjust the sugar and vinegar quantity.You may need little less or more.
