lemon chilli chutney recipe

I learnt this hot and spicy red chilli chutney from my MIL. It is a very easy to make chutney recipe. Red chilli, lemon  and onion are the major ingredients of this chutney. Tamarind is not used in this recipe. We call it as milagai chutney. Its a good side dish for idli,dosa ! It tastes very spicy. Ok, lets see how to make South Indian style red chilli chutney recipe.
