Onion Chutney Recipe



Onion chutney is one of my favorite chutney which is very easy and simple to make and goes well with idli, dosa or any other tiffin items.   There are many ways of making onion chutney I like to do this way, lot of variations also can be done with this simple chutney.  I added half of tomato which helps in grinding and also add color to chutney, if you wish you can skip tomato and follow rest of procedure.  Try this simple onion chutney with minimal ingredients plus it can be done in jiffy, I am sure you will like it.

  10. The chutney looks very rich in color. As a big fan of rice, I think it will go well with steamed white rice.
