Raw Onion Chutney

This is instant chutney. If we won’t get much time to prepare any side dishes for idli and dosa, we can go for this dish. It’s very easy to prepare and simple dish. If you don’t have small onions, you can use big onions. But shallots are the key factor for this chutney.

To get best taste, I would recommend you all to use sesame oil with this dish. This goes well this idli, dosa and uthappam.
