Onion Chutney /Onion Thokku– My mom’s Version [Side dish for Idlis, Dosas etc]

Today in Priya’s Virundhu it is a very authentic and traditional recipe of South India, none other than the Onion Chutney. But this onion chutney is a little different from the regular onion chutney. This onion chutney is my mom’s version which she learnt from my grandma. This onion chutney is commonly prepared in Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu in most of the houses. This is very delicious and easy onion chutney that can be prepared in a jiffy. So try it out friends you will really like it. Check out the other chutney varieties here.

    My comfort food.. the chutney looks so delicious.. Even we make it the same way, except we add tomatoes some times. Also some times we cook it before grinding. Every thing gives a unique taste. I am yet to make posts on chutneys.. You have a good collection!
