Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Red onions
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 4 whole Dried red chilies
- 1 tablespoon Tamarind paste
- 1 teaspoon Jaggery or brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 8 leaves Curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel and roughly chop the red onions and garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add dried red chilies and sauté for 30 seconds, until they release their aroma.
Add the chopped red onions and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn golden brown.
Stir in the tamarind paste, jaggery (or brown sugar), and salt. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly before transferring it to a blender. Add 2 tablespoons of water and blend into a smooth paste. Adjust the consistency with a little more water if needed.
In a separate small skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add the curry leaves to the skillet and sauté for 10 seconds, being careful as they may splatter.
Pour the tempered oil with mustard seeds and curry leaves over the blended chutney and mix well.
Serve the Killer Onion Chutney warm or at room temperature as a side dish or condiment of your choice. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
