Eerulli/onion chutney

There many ways to make onion chutney, some people use coconut and some use channa dal/urad dal. I like mine with just onion and red chillies. Here's what you'll need:


Onion, coarsely chopped - 2 large
Red chillies - 4-5 or to taste
Tamarind paste - 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida/Hing - 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil - 2-3 tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1/4 tsp

Heat a table spoon of oil in a pan and add onion and red chillies, fry till onions turn golden brown. Let it cool. Add tamarind paste, salt and grind to a smooth paste. You'll not have to add water.
Heat oil in the same pan, add mustard seeds after they splutter, add hing and the onion paste. Give it a good mix and let the chutney cool before you serve.
