  OKay, here's my version. I love it with boiled/roasted cassava or on corncobs. Comes of combining indian tastes with a childhood in East Africa.
  
  Need:
  1. Chillies - as many and as hot as you like (I use 3 cayenne + 2 pequin)
  2. 1-2" ginger, coarsely chopped.
  3. Salt - powder or kosher, 1-2 tsp
  4. Lemon/Key lime/Lime juice - 2 tbsp
  Optional:
  Cilantro/Mint as you like.
  
  I have an old yardsaler coffee mill that's now my paste grindin' machine. I chop ingredients rather coarse, and whirl them with any needed water in the mill till I get a smooth paste.
  
  This can be mildened with a little coconut (dry/fresh, but has to be unsweetened) or "dalia" - roasted split chickpeas.
  
  Lip smackin' endorphin rushin' good. One of these days I'll toss in some wasabi to feel the earth move.
  
  My wife swears this cures her migraine headaches.

  yardsaler = article/object bought on the cheap at a yard sale
  
  aka garage sale, sidewalk sale, block sale..
  
  Where I live (in the US), people are in the habit of occasionally piling up their unneeded junk on tables, pricing them at bargain rates. Other people go around these yard sales and look for bargains. The stuff they buy as yardsalers in many cases ends up in their own yard sales a year or so later.. =)
  
  Anyway it's a fun way to spend a summer day, finding "treasures"..

  Sundar,
  Thanks. If the cassava you mention is the same as Kerala tapioca then I can just imagine how yummy your chilli sauce would be going along with it!
  I have tasted a north Kerala recipe for a chilli acompaniment to boiled or roasted tapioca. Here's how:
  
  5 dried red chillies
  6 scallions smaller than (marbles)
  1 clove of garlic
  a 1/2 inch piece of ginger
  Salt
  
  Roast a few dried red chillies (vatthal mulaggu) on a skewer over a flame. The kerala housewife, of course, uses a coconut frond stem (thennankeech in Tamizh - is there a word for the stick-like thing in English?)as a skewer. Crush and rub into flakes in hand.
  Crush, using fingers, a few scallions, one green chilli (not for the faint-hearted), a small piece of ginger. Pound a garlic clove lightly and crush into this mix.
  Make thick watery mix of tamarind and water. Add all the above and again crush with fingers. Add salt.

  If anyone had to call a fire engine after eating the above chilli dish, a thousand apologies,my dear friends. There is a crucial ingredient which I left out.
  The last line of the recipe should read << Make thick watery mix of tamarind and water. Add all the above and again crush with fingers. Mix in a tbspoon of coconut oil. Add salt.
  
  Sorry again!

  2 good ones from my mom (TN recipe):
  Red Chilli Sauce:
  6 Dry Red chillies roasted
  5 pearl onions roasted (or raw if you like the raw onion taste)
  Salt to taste
  small piece of dry tamarind
  Finely grind all these ingredients. Season the above by heating 2 tbsps of Indian Sesame (Gingelly ) or Coconut oil and add mustard to it and let the mustard splutter. Awesome with Dosa, idli, upma etc.
  Green Chilli sauce:
  Roast lightly 8 thai chillies (substitute cayenne, Anaheim chilli etc)
  Add salt and a small bit of dry tamarind and finely grind it in a food processor with very little water. Now in a pan heat 2tbsps of sesame oil (indian, not chinese) or coconut oil and add mustard , let it splutter, and curry leaves. Add the green paste and fry for 4 minutes (you have to be a BraveHeart to miss this step!). Your green chilli chutney is ready. Keeps for 2 weeks in the fridge. Goes well with almost anything! I prefer it with idli, dosa, sandwiches, yoghurt rice etc. Be warned - you may need to either call an ambulance or Fire Engine after you eat these recipes. Sorry in advance if it does happen!

  Tobasco style
  
  1 pound fresh red tabasco chiles, chopped
  cups distilled white vinegar
  1 3/4 teaspoons salt
  
  Combine the chiles and the vinegar in a saucepan and heat on medium. Stir in the salt and simmer for 7 minutes. Remove from the heat, cool, and place in a blender. Puree until smooth and place in a glass jar. Allow to steep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
  Remove, strain the sauce, and adjust the consistency by adding more vinegar if necessary.
