Notes

Always choose good aromatic, juicy, big lemons for this chutney preparation.
Refined oil can be used instead of coconut oil.
I have added liquid jaggery, instead grated or powdered jaggery can be used.
The amount of jaggery and red chili can be adjusted as per individual taste.
Take care to remove all the lemon seeds before grinding, if not the seeds will spoil the taste of chutney.
I have added few rinds without seeds, juice. So no wasting of rinds too after using the juice.
