Onion Chutney

Onion Chutney is a savory and flavorful South Indian condiment made primarily from onions, with a blend of spices to create a tangy and slightly spicy dip. This chutney is often served as an accompaniment with dosas, idlis, vadas, or rice. The rich, sweet flavor of caramelized onions combines beautifully with the heat of red chilies and the warmth of spices such as cumin, mustard seeds, and curry leaves.

To prepare Onion Chutney, onions are sautéed until they are golden brown and softened, releasing their natural sweetness. Then, they are blended with tamarind for tanginess, along with a mix of spices and salt for added depth. Some variations include a little jaggery or sugar to balance the flavors, while others may include garlic or ginger for an extra layer of flavor.

The result is a thick, smooth chutney with a perfect balance of sweetness, tanginess, and heat. Onion Chutney adds an irresistible, flavorful touch to any meal and is ideal for those who love bold, savory condiments!
