Sweet and Sour Onion Chutney

 It’s a simple and tasty chutney. This is really easy to prepare. No need to cook anything apart from seasoning. This goes very well with idli, dosa, upma, kichadi and Pongal. I used regular chilli ( I don’t have stock of Byadagi chilli) If you have Mangalore chilli try this chutney. That will give amazing bright red color to this dish. Enjoy Well 😉 

The combination of the flavors of  red chilli, coconut, onions mixed with Jaggery and tamarind, will keep  you fascinated in its taste.
