1 Cup = 250 ML, 1 tsp = 5 ML

To Temper

• To a mixer, add shallots, garlic, onion, tamarind, red chilli and required salt. Now grind it in one single stretch, if preferred add very little water and grind it. Also, don’t grind the chutney for a long time till smooth texture, as the shallots start to taste bitter. The texture of this chutney should be coarse only.
• Heat 2 tbsp of sesame oil in a pan, then season it with mustard seeds, urad dal and curry leaves.
• Now add the grounded chutney and just saute for a minute in medium flame. The raw smell of the onion should be there, so switch off the flame immediately.

Notes

Tips for Spicy Vengaya Chutney Recipe

1. Use shallots for good taste, but if grounded for a long time it starts tasting bitter.
2. To avoid the bitter taste from shallots by chance, I used 1 medium-sized regular/big onion. 
3. Don’t skip tamarind, as it gives slight tanginess and a nice taste to the Chilli Onion Chutney Recipe.
4. Don't reduce the chilli, else the chutney won't taste good, it should be spicy only. 
5. Don't grind the chutney to a smooth paste, let it be coarse. If ground to smooth texture for a long time it tastes bitter.
6. For different taste 1 sprig of curry leaves can be ground along with onions.
7. Use gingelly oil generously for more flavour, but regular oil can also be used.
8. This Spicy Vengaya Chutney Recipe stays good for 1 week when kept outside and for 2 weeks under refrigeration.
