Pandumirapayaka Tomato Pachadi-Ripe red chili tomato chutney

This is a spicy preparation from andhra which uses ripe red chilies usually eaten by itself or combined with tomatoes to get a spicy tangy chutney.They look like the picture below or smaller.In the USA I think we can use habanaro peppers for a replacement for the spice they offer.
