ONION CHUTNEY

Today morning I prepared appam with coconut milk. After eating appam with coconut milk, everyone likes to eat appam with some kara chutney. Today while I am thinking which chutney to be prepared, this onion chutney came to my mind. Immediately I prepared it. Everyone appreciated its taste and had extra appams. It is very simple and easy to make.

Ingredients

Small onion                  - 25 to 30

Red Chillies                  - 10 to 15 as per ur taste

Mustard seeds             - 2 + 2 tsp

Broken urad dhal         -  4 tsp

Curry leaves

Oil                               - 1/2 + 1 tbs

Tamarind.                   - One pinch

Preparation

 Heat one tbsp of oil, add mustard seeds, when it splutters, add urad dal and red chillies. Fry until dal turns light brown. Remove from oil. Transfer it to a plate and allow to cool little.

In the same oil, add skin pealed small onions and saute until it turns pink. 

Today i used Big onion, since now small onion is very costly in Chennai. chutney tasted good with big onion itself. But if we use small onion taste will be excellent. 

     

add the tamarind piece and saute for 2-3 seconds and then switch of the flame. 

Transfer it to a plate and allow it to cool.

Then add everything in a mixie cup  and grind to a smooth paste by adding salt.

Heat a tsp of oil, add mustard seeds, curry leaves, when mustard splutters, pour the seasoning over the chutney.

This chutney is good combination for idly or dosai.
