ONION CILANTRO CHUTNEY

ONION CILANTRO CHUTNEY
A simple chutney which can be made in minutes is onion cilantro chutney. There is no much cooking process except the tadka. Raw onion and cilantro are used in making this chutney and this tastes awesome with hot rice and ghee. Give it a try.
INGREDIENTS
  • Onion                1 large
  • Cilantro             10 sprigs
  • Oil                      1 Tsp
  • Salt                    to taste
  • Red chilies         3
  • Tamarind            small piece
  • Sugar                  1/2 tsp(optional)
  • Chana dal           1/2 tsp
  • Urad dal             1/2 tsp
  • Mustard              1/4 tsp
PROCEDURE
Cut the onions into medium size pieces.  Here I used the less hot white onions, you can use the red onions too. Wash the cilantro and roughly chop it.
Heat oil in a pan and add the dals, mustard , red chilies. When the tadka is done remove it and cool it.
In a mixie jar add 3/4 of the tadka, cilantro, red chilies, tamarind, salt, sugar. Grind the mixture to a fine paste. Now add the onions pieces and pulse the mixie till every thing is mixed well. The onions should not form into a paste. Some pieces should remain in the chutney. Now add the remaining tadka, mix well and serve with rice and ghee. This goes well with any dosa also.
