This
chutney is very special and quick chutney that can be made in minutes. You all
must be surprised with the name “rosapoo” – yes that is how it is called in Nagapattinam.
When I was a small kid, I used to think this chutney had rosapoo(rose) in it,
very funny…
But my
mom used to say, this chutney is made of sambar vengayam, red chillies and
tamarind which give a beautiful color, from which it gets its name. This is my
mom’s special recipe, she makes this is in ammi (grinding stone) it gives heavenly
taste. Check out other delectable chutneys here.
Here’s
how to make it with photos…

Method
In the
mixer blend the red chillies and tamarind together to make a fine paste. Now add
the pearl onions, salt and blend them in the mixer.
Transfer
the chutney to a bowl, add about 3 tbsp of oil and mix well.
In a
kadai heat remaining oil, temper with ingredients mentioned and add it to the
chutney.
Yummy,
spicy, delicious chutney is ready to served with hot idli’s and dosa’s.
Note:
Since
we use the mixer for grinding the red chillies they don’t grind easily, soak
the red chillies in warm water for 10 min, drain the water and grind it in the
mixer.
If you
don’t have time to temper, than just add 4 tbsp of oil mix well and serve it.
