Now
that summer is at its peak, everybody is busy preparing vadams, vadagams etc.
My mom usually makes Vegaya Vadagam/Thalippu Vadagam at this time of the year
and it comes in handy throughout the year. You can as well buy this thallipu
vadagam in supermarkets or pappdam/appalam/vathal shops. The thalippu vadagam
is bundled with flavour and aroma, which kick starts our senses the moment you
smell it. It is used especially for tempering
kaara kuzhambu, vatha kuzhambu, fish/meen kuzhambu etc, which adds extraordinary
flavour, taste and aroma. Today I am going to share very simple and quick
vadagam chutney which can be made in just 10 minutes. Do try out this
flavourful and tasty chutney and have a great day. Do not forget to check out
other chutney varieties here.

Method
Heat
oil in a kadai/pan, add vengaya vadam/thalippu vengaya vadagam and fry for about a minute.
Add the
dry red chillies and onions. Fry the onions until golden brown colour.
Now add
the tamarind and fry for another 2-3 minutes and switch off the stove.
Let it
cool down completely, then grind it to chutney consistency along with the salt.
If needed sprinkle little water when grinding and adjust the consistency of the
chutney.
Tempering this chutney is optional, I have tempered with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal and curry leaves.
Super delicious Vengaya Vadagam Chutney is ready to be enjoyed. Serve this chutney along with idlis/dosas/paniyaram etc. Add few drops of gingelly oil when serving this chutney.
