Onion chutney using coconut oil:

chop around 25 pearl onions. Heat COCONUT OIL & add the onions. Fry till they start browning. add req salt & chilly pwd & switch off flame immediately. mix well,let cool & grind to a paste.

Heat a tsp of CCONUT oil again. splutter mustard & then add a dry red chilly & a few curry leaves. Add in the ground paste & fry again for a min or two. Serve with dosai/wheat dosai. Tastes yum. The use of coconut oil makes a lot of diff to this chutney. So never every try using any other oil.

Kugan as Lakme said, I too made the onion chutney. Supero super. You know I usually add onions with other things to make chutney. Making chutney using only onions is super idea. Thanks Lakme for requesting the recipe.
Lakme, my onion chutney was red like Kugan's, because I used dried chillies that are red in colour. You know these red chillies , will be long but will look wrinkle

I think we will have to squeeze Kugan for simple, simple recipes that are easy and tasty. Thanks Kugan.

Dev, thanks for re posting the onion chutney.
Even though it sounds simple, I am sure it will taste great.
Let me try it with coconut oil.

Try the tapioca chips when you are free.
You can slice them first then drop them in the oil.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98

Thanks Lakme for trying out the onion chutney.
As Gulabjamun says, use nice red chillies.
Your chutney will be little red in colour.
O.K I will post for you a nice onion curry.
Try it out. Thanks, Kugan98

Thanks Gulabjamun for your nice feed back, and your advise for the wrinkled red chillie. You are right, I too will look for nice red chillies to use for sambals and things.

Gulabjamun, you can squeeze me as much as you want.
Enjoy the onion curry. Thanks, Kugan98
