Submitted by udita

"Recently I visted a friend's place and she was preparing this chutney. The aroma itself was enough to tell you that this preparation is going to be yummy, and it was. This chutney comes from the South Indian state of Karnataka. People who can't tolerate chilli peppers might want to stay out of this chutney"
