- To a mixer, add shallots, garlic, onion, tamarind, red chilli and required salt. Now grind it in one single stretch, if preferred add very little water and grind it. Also, don’t grind the chutney for a long time till smooth texture, as the shallots start to taste bitter. The texture of this chutney should be coarse only.
- Heat 2 tbsp of sesame oil in a pan, then season it with mustard seeds, urad dal and curry leaves.
- Now add the grounded chutney and just saute for a minute in medium flame. The raw smell of the onion should be there, so switch off the flame immediately.Serve this Chilli Onion Chutney Recipe with Pesarattu / Moong Dal Dosa
