Red Chutney for Idli and Dosa

There are many versions of onion tomato chutney in my blog and out of all of it, this one is my husband's favorite. It's simple to make and tastes spicy and delicious. I make this every time I don't want to make a coconut based chutney. Goes very well with idli or dosa.
