    Kara Chutney is one of those delicious chutneys you get served in Tamil Nadu Hotels. Most are bright red in colour and are spicy as well. Today's version is quite simple and easy to make and all with 4 main ingredients and some of the tempering ingredients.

    This Kara Chutney can be considered as 4 ingredient dish for the BM #69 this week. I know I am trying to fix this dish into the rules, however, the ingredients I ignored are commonly found in any South Indian kitchen and I am flexing my chances here. The other Kara Chutney I have is made similarly, however, more onions and cumin adds a different flavour.
