Onion
Chutney recipe comes to rescue when there is no tomato or coconut in stock. My mom makes often, MIL too makes the same way. Very simple yet spicy and flavourful. Using small onion (chinna vengayam) is best for this chutney. Top with sesame oil and serve as side dish for idli or any dosa. So here you go for chutney recipe…

Delicious side dish for Dosa and idli.
ReplyDeleteHad been to ur site quite recently and have tried a couple of recipes. Very good site with detailed steps and accompanying photographs which compel one to try the recipes immediately ;). btw, how do u get this brownish color for the chutney? I tried the same and ended up with a pinkish color.
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for your compliments :)
DeleteIf you see my chillies, its fried until smoky deep red or almost black. So it brings that brown colour. The colour depends how you roast the chilli and how you grind. I used my blender,it will not grind it smooth like our mixie... it could also be a reason.
Thanks for the pointers. Will keep them in mind next time.
Deletesuperb recipe.. thanks raks..
