Onion Chutney – Zero Oil (Erra Kaaram)

This is the easiest chutney that tastes heavenly. It goes well with dosas as well as rice. I usually use this chutney to smear on dosas to make them yummier and spicy.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium onion

  • 1 tsp red chili powder

  • 5 curry leaves (optional)

  • ½ tsp Tamarind

  • Salt

Method:

Cut onion into big chunks. Heat a pan and add the onion pieces along with the curry leaves (optional). Fry for some time and remove from the pan.

When cool, grind it into a smooth paste along with the tamarind pulp + chili powder + salt. Add little water if needed. Yummy, yummy onion chutney is ready!

Enjoy as a dip for dosas or smear it on the dosas to make an onion roast dosa or just enjoy with hot rice and ghee.



This is my contribution to Ramya’s “Chutney/Dip Mania”.



On a Different Note:

Some days back Pavithra has passed the delicious “Lemonade Award”. Thanks for your nice gesture Pavithra!

Uma, this is our favorite too. Infact if you fry it and make it thick it stays for few days without spoilage. We pack this for long journeys :)

All I need is hot rice and a tsp. of oil to mix up the chutney! I love chutneys with rice, and this would be a great combination.

Looks spicy. We do make the chutney but onions are not fried...the only problem is the bad breath. I think frying the onions will eliminate the problem.
