Hi Lakshmi,
Good thing about this chutney is…. there’s no tempering involved so you may adjust by either adding little more coconut or fried urad dal and grind to fix the problem. You may also serve the hot chutney topped with sesame oil which will reduce the heat a bit. Hope this helps and thanks for you feedback.
