Onions - 3 nos.
Urad dal - 50 gms.
Red chillies - 8-10 nos.
Tamarind - size of a big lemon
Oil - 2 tsp.
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp.
Salt to taste.
Method:
Slice the onions fine. Soak the tamarind in some water. Heat oil in a kadai, add red chillies and fry them. Next add the urad dal and fry them to a golden brown colour. Take care while frying the dal. If not fried properly then the chutney will become sticky. Add the sliced onions and fry them till they turn transparent. Set aside the dal and onions till it becomes cool. Next grind all the ingredients to a smooth paste. Add the soaked tamarind, salt and grind together. Heat one teaspoon of oil in a kadai and put some mustard seeds in it. Add the ground chutney and fry in the oil for a few minutes and remove from fire. If this final frying is done then the chutney will stay fresh for a longer time. It can be served with
idli and
dosa.
