Onion Chutney

This chutney pairs well with dosa / idli/ uttapam.

You can make it fiery by adding more red chili, I have made it very mild as I cannot tolerate heat.

Ingredients

Onion 2 large ( 200 gms)

Garlic 4 fat cloves

Ginger 2 tsp

Red chili 1  (can add more for fiery chutney)

Oil 2 tbsp

Salt to taste

Vinegar 1 tsp (optional)

Tempering

Oil 2 tsp

Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp

Curry leaves 5

Method

  1. Slice the onions.

  2. Heat oil in a pan.

  3. Saute onions, garlic ginger and red chili till oinions turn brown.

  4. Let the mixture cool completely.

  5. Grind to a coarse paste without adding water.

  6. In a fresh pan, heat oil for tempering.

  7. Add mustard seeds and curry leaves.

  8. Once mustard seeds crackle add the onion paste.

  10. Saute for a couple of minutes so that the tempering mixes well with paste.
