ONION CHUTNEY

I have a thing for Chutneys, the faster I can prepare it, the better for me, especially if it is healthy and versatile and it has to go well with idli’s, dosas, rice, even act as a dip for fryums. The recipe I am about to share is perfect for it all. Most times Chutneys involve a lot of frying all the ingredients, cooling and then grinding and if it’s a vegetable based chutney, then that extra work of peeling and cutting etc. While I don’t mind going through that process when I have the interest and time, I did want something super fast, easy and tasty. After what seems to ages, I have found THE recipe that makes me want to eat the chutney by itself! And thankfully, no coconut, no peanut and just two onions!! This recipe is from a channel I keep visiting often and I’ve learnt so much from this channel, especially during the lockdown. Taste is mind blowing! I’ve added the link to the recipe and below is the written description with a slight twist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3N8DFa1E4Q Here’s the recipe. 1. To a mixer jar, add two cubed onions, 2-3 spoonfuls of roasted gram, a tiny size of tamarind, (I added hing now) though the recipe says add it during seasoning. Grind with some water to form a paste that is of medium consistency – not too thick or thin. 2. Heat oil. Add mustard and allow it to splutter, add urad dal, a few curry leaves, a spoonful or two of red chilli powder, ground paste and fry in low flame for less than a minute. Ensure that all ingredients are mixed well and you are done! It is so, so, so tasty with dosa and idly! Finally the kind of chutney I most wanted. While I am not stingy with rating unless things are really bad, you won’t find me giving a 5/5 so easily – for either recipes tried or restaurant reviews, but this one deserves it all the way. And the reason I haven’t included a picture is because I’ve been in too much of a hurry to eat it, instead of waiting to take a pic;) Source: Namma Adige Channel. Overall rating: 5/5 Ratings for reviews: 1 – No! No! No! 2- Just about average. 3 –Good. Can give it a try. 4- Great!! 5 – Yes! Yes! Yes! And I’ll tell all about it.
