Onion Chutney/ Vengaya Thogayal

A few weeks ago, there was a need to make a quick chutney to go with ragi dosa made with left over dosa batter. Generally, I would have opted to make tomato or coconut chutney. Instead, I chose to make the chutney using onions which is one of my favorites. It went so perfect with the crunchy dosai for dinner that night and with hot rice the next day. Since the consistency was thick it served as chutney and thogayal. Next time when you are in a mood to try out a different chutney try this one.

Cutting Board
Wok
Knife
Spatula
Blender
Measuring Spoons and Cups

Ingredients:

Onions chopped - 2 cups
Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida - 1/4 tsp

Green Chillies - 1
Cilantro - 1/2 cup chopped
Oil - 2 tsp
