Steps

1To begin making the South Indian Onion Chutney recipe, firstly slice onions into medium pieces and keep aside. Heat a teaspoon of oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, dry red chilies and sauté for a few seconds.
2Add urad dal, saute and let it turn golden yellow. Transfer this into a small dish and let it cool.
3In the same pan, add a teaspoon of oil, add the chopped onion pieces and saute well for 4 to 5 minutes, until the raw odour of onion disappears. Turn off the heat and cool.
4Grind the urad dal, cumin seeds and red chillis to a coarse powder in a grinder. Add to this, the fried onions, salt, tamarind and jaggery.
5Grind to make a paste. Add a little water (2-3 tablespoons) for a thinner consistency. Do not add more water as it may turn out to be runny.
6For seasoning, heat oil in a pan, add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.
7Add the curry leaves and turn off the heat. Pour this seasoning over the chutney. Mix and savour this chutney with idlis or dosa’s.
