Notes
Colour of chutney powder depends on colour of red chilli (byadagi variety gives best colour and taste). I have used regular dry red chillies here

Add salt as per your taste

Increase red chillis as per your liking of spiciness of chutney powder

Roasted gram balances the flavours and oiliness of groundnuts

Use this sparingly as this can become very spicy for a few people
