Nothing much to say about this recipe as many of you may know it. This goes well with dosa/idly. Below recipe is from my dear sathya. ClICK HERE To get other chutney recipes.

Ingredients:

Big Onion	1(small)
Small Onion/Shallots	15
Dry red chilly	6
Urad dal	1 tspoon
Tamarind	1 small gooseberry size
Sesame Oil	1 tbl spoon
Salt	to taste

To Temper:

Oil	1 tspoon
Dry red chilly	3
Mustard	1/2 tspoon
Curry leaves	1 sprig

Preparation:

(1) Peel the skin of shallots and cut big onion to cubes.

(2) Heat oil in a pan and add urad dal. Once the color changes add shallots with little salt. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. To this add dry red chilly and tamarind. Saute till onion turns light brown color. Allow it to cool.

(3) Once it is cooled, grind it in a mixer with 1/2 cup of water. Add little salt too. Make a fine paste. Keep it aside.

(4) Heat oil in the same pan and add dry red chilly (second table). Add mustard. Once it splutters add curry leaves. To this add ground paste. Make a salt test. Once it starts boiling switch off the flame.

Have it with dosa/idly..

Tips:

• I used both big onion and small onion in equal proportion. Small onion gives more taste. You can use either big onion or small onion as per your convenience.
• It is a thick chutney so don't make it watery.
