Steps:

• To begin making the South Indian Onion Chutney recipe, firstly slice onions into medium pieces and keep aside. Heat a teaspoon of oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, dry red chilies and sauté for a few seconds.
• Add urad dal, saute and let it turn golden yellow. Transfer this into a small dish and let it cool.
• In the same pan, add a teaspoon of oil, add the chopped onion pieces and saute well for 4 to 5 minutes, until the raw odour of onion disappears. Turn off the heat and cool.
• Grind the urad dal, cumin seeds and red chillis to a coarse powder in a grinder. Add to this, the fried onions, salt, tamarind and jaggery.
• Grind to make a paste. Add a little water (2-3 tablespoons) for a thinner consistency. Do not add more water as it may turn out to be runny.
• For seasoning, heat oil in a pan, add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.
• Add the curry leaves and turn off the heat. Pour this seasoning over the chutney. Mix and savour this chutney with idlis or dosa's.

INDIAN SPICED ONIONS
