Onion chutney is one of my favourite side dish for idly, dosa varieties. It is a south Indian dish. I too like to pair it up with upma as i do not like sugar. My friend like it with appam. So you can pair with anything.
From all usual coconut and tomato chutney this is a little different, done with onions. This is good for diabetic patients. Small onions ( pearl onions) are low in fat and lightens balance of the blood.
Pearl/ small onions have a special taste, but you can also use big onions. If your kids not like this chutney and if they are fond of tomato chutney then just add 1/2 tomato to this when you grind. Here am not using tomato.
Ingredients:
Small Onions - 1 cup peeled.
Red chillies - 5 nos
Tamarind - small gooseberry size (1/4 tsp paste)
Channa dhal/ urud dhal - 1 tsp
Mustard seed - 1 tsp
salt - As required
Oil
Method :
1) Heat a pan with 2 tsp oil. Add mustard seeds, once splattered add dhal and red chilli. Once it turns golden brown add onions.
2) Onion should turn shinny on the outside. Now add tamarind and turn off the heat. Keep it aside and let it cool for 5 mins.
3) Now grind the mixture with required salt. Mostly no need to add water but if you need add little.
4) Grind until smooth paste.
5) Heat oil in a pan, splatter mustard seed and curry leaves. Add grind paste. Let the flame in simmer.
6) Oil starts to ooze out. At this point turn off the heat and transfer to a serving plate.
7) Delicious Onion chutney ready.
Note:
1) You can store it. Should not place spoon while storing.
2) You can also use big onions in place of small onions.
3) Adding garlic is optional. If added it adds flavor.
4) If kids do not like this chutney add 1/2 tomato while grinding.
