Today is the second day of blogging marathon#20 and I am posting under cooking with onions. I have already posted a recipe for onion chutney but it also has tomatoes in it. The recipe was made according to PK's instructions. But today's chutney doesn't have tomatoes and it is my mom's recipe. This is what we used to eat during childhood. It has tamarind to give a little bit of sour taste to it and it tastes great with idli and dosa. When ever we went on a tour, mom used to make idlis and vengaya chutney for breakfast. We used to have it under a tree on the side of the road. The smell of this chutney itself brings in lots of child hood memories. I am linking this to WTML hosted by Smitha and started by me.
Ingredients:
Onion-4
Garlic-5-6pods
Green Chilly-5-6
Salt-to taste
Tamarind- a small piece
Oil-1 1/2+1/2tbs
Salt-to taste
Mustard and Urad Dhal-1tsp
Curry Leaves-a sprig
Procedure:
1. Heat 1 1/2tbs of oil and add the sliced onions and garlic.
2. Saute until the onions become brown in colour. This part is very important because it gives the sweetness to the chutney.
3. Add the green chillies and saute for a minute.
4. Add the tamarind and 1/4cup of water and allow it to boil.
5. Add salt and when the water is reduced, switch off flame and allow the mixture to cool.
6. Grind to a fine paste in the mixer grinder.
7. For tempering, heat 1/2tbs oil and add mustard seeds, urad dhal and curry leaves.
8. When they crackle add it to the chutney and serve along with idli or dosa.
