Ingredients:

* Red Jalapeno peppers – about 6 to 8, washed and de-stalked
* Half of an onion- roughly chopped, (I used yellow onion).
* half tsp of salt or as needed
* about one-fourth cup of water to blend them together
* a tsp of vegetable oil, ½ tsp of mustard seeds, curry leaves for seasoning
* a few spoons of sesame oil to finally mix in the chutney while serving.

Grind the peppers, salt and onions together with the water into a smooth paste and set aside. Take a frying pan, add ½ spoon of oil and when it is hot enough, temper with mustard seeds and curry leaves. Add the chutney paste into the pan and fry it for a few minutes, stirring constantly. The red chutney can be stored in the fridge for a few days and is not too spicy. Adding a tsp of sesame oil to it while serving with idli gives it a nice flavor and adds to the taste. I hope you like it as much as we do.
