Onion chutney / ಈರುಳ್ಳಿ ಚಟ್ನಿ

ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಓದಲು ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಕ್ಲಿಕ್ ಮಾಡಿ.

Here is one more addition to the list of Chutneys. Normally, what we do is we will repeat only few varieties of chutney or other side dishes most of the times. Day-by-day, we ourselves will get bored with these routine things. So, I feel that it is always better to keep on adding new things to our collection.

Traditional Havyaka style of food requires lot of coconut. I will prepare some varieties of food which won't taste good if we won't add coconut. So, I will keep a stock of shredded coconut in my freezer. Last week, we bought one coconut from a store nearby. But it was spoiled and we ended up in throwing it to the dustbin. After 2-3 days, again I went for buying the coconut. I bought it from a different shop this time. For my bad luck, it was also spoiled! So, buying coconut has become a big challenge for us these days.

This chutney is from my sister's collection of recipes. Of course, lot of credit I need to give to her since so many varieties I learned from her. This goes well with dosa, idli and chapathi.
