Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Chopping board

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium onion red or white
  • 1.5 tablespoon tomato ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala can use chaat masala or cumin powder
  • salt as per taste
  • 1 small green chili chopped (optional)
  • 1 twig coriander leaves garnishing

Instructions
 

  • Red onions are usually pungent and sharp. After chopping them, quickly soak them in salted water for about 2-3 min. You may use cold water as well.
    Drain the water.
  • In a large bowl, add chopped onions, little salt, spices and tomato ketchup along with green chilies. Give it a good toss.
  • Serve the decadent Indian Onion Chutney topped with coriander leaves over a fried poppadom or have them with rice.

Notes

  • Red Onions have a sharp sour or pungent flavor. If you dislike the pungency of the onions, you may soak chopped onions in salty water for about 5 min and then make the chutney. One may also use cold water.
  • Make sure to drain any excess water from the onions or else the chutney would be runny.
  • Place the chutney in glass jar for storing. Avoid use of plastic or metal for best results.
