Note:

  1. You can grind the chuttney without frying the onion, tomato, and red chili  (grind everything in raw) and then season it. Just cook the chuttney for longer afterwards because all the ingredients are raw.
  2. If you live in US,  sauté onion, tomato, red chili before grinding it. If you grind it raw and then try to cook it, the onions will release too much water and the chutney will not thicken properly.
