Chilli onion chutney | Spicy vengaya chutney recipe

January 23, 2014 by Raks Anand 35 Comments /

spicy-chutney-for-idli 
Am here with a quick post. Easy recipe. Nothing can beat hot idlies and a spicy chutney breakfast. I am hot and spice lover. I want everything hot! And I always look for different chutney recipes to try as I hate to repeat the same chutney every time. So few days back, a reader friend- Dharini Umapathy (who calls me akka and shares her life events too) told me this simple chutney, her grandma used to make and I instantly loved it. Coz its simple, sound spicy and flavorful too. So I tried the very next day and loved it a lot. We make a similar one sans garlic and curry leaves. But this tempted me to try. So here’s the recipe without my blah blah blahs.

Spicy chilli onion chutney recipe

Recipe Cuisine: Indian  |  Recipe Category: Breakfast
Prep Time: 5 mins    |  Cook time: 5 mins    |  Serves: 3

Ingredients

Small onion/ chinna vengayam – 8


Red chilli – 8


Garlic – 1 flake


Curry leaves – 1 sprig


Salt – As needed


To temper

Oil – 2 tsp


Mustard – 3/4 tsp


Urad dal – 1 tsp


Method

  1. Peel onion, garlic and place all the ingredients in the mixer. Grind it to a slightly coarse paste with 3 tblsp of water.1-grind
  2. In a kadai, heat oil and temper with the items given under ‘To temper’ table and pour the ground chutney. Stir for just a minute and transfer to serving bowl.2-temper

Notes

    • Shallots (small onions/ chinna vengayam) works best.
    • Do not let it boil for long time as the raw smell of onion should be there to taste good.
    • Grind coarsely for enjoying a good texture, also if you grind smoothly, it may turn bitter.

Serve with hot hot idlis and you will never know how many idlies you ate. சில பல இட்லிகள் உள்ள போகும்! 😃

    All of you whose chutneys turned bitter : Make sure you dont grind the chutney too smooth. Also use Chilli more to balance it. Otherwise nothing in the recipe to turn it bitter. What I tried was spicy not even a bit bitter.

    It could be that the shallots in USA & the ones in India maybe different. To remove the bitterness, I added lemon juice & it turned out to be tolerable

    Since you are using 8 red chilli and only 8 shallots, I am asking this… Will it be hot spicy …

    Yes, also my shallots are big. So adjust accordingly to your spice level
