This is a simple recipe of spicy cabbage Chutney for rice or for dosa. But if you want to make it less spicy, then minimize the number of red chilies. I have added three red chilies and that is perfect for our family. But if you prefer more spicy, then add a few more red chilies.

Red chili can also be substituted with green chilies. But I prefer adding red chilies as I feel that it is better in color and in taste. Everyone has their own taste and preference so decide accordingly.

Add gingelly oil while serving, if you feel the chutney is too spicy. Adding gingelly oil not only gives an authentic taste but also good for health.
