Just made a nice fresh bowl of this stuff for dinner. Its a very typical Andhra dish, but goes with almost everything you can imagine. When I was a kid, I'd butter up some brown bread and spread a bit of dried onion chutney, throw in come carrots and radishes to make one pungent sandwich.
It goes well with idly's and paranthas alike (my personal favourite accompaniement to this is dosas). It make s great dip as well. A version with chopped tomatoes added (mentioned after the recipe) can also be tried out.
Onion Chutney
You will need
1) 2 large red onions, chopped
2) 6-7 dried red chillies
3) salt
4)1 teaspoon oil
5) 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
Method:
1) Heat 1/2 a teaspoon of oil and add the chillies.
2) When the chillies are crunchy, take them out and grind (for a food processor, make sure you use the dry-grinding/spice grinding option)
3) toss the onions in the pan (dont add more oil), till they are pink
4) Add the onions and salt to the food processor and grind till you get a paste.
5) Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat. Add the mustard seeds. Add the onion paste and toss for exactly 30 seconds (we do NOT want to drain out the moisture from the onions)
6) Serve it at room temperature with absolutely anything!
Variation.
To step 3, add one tomato chopped, with the seeds removed.
