A favorite accompaniment with dosa’s, idli’s, upma’s, a sandwich spread and anything you want to experiment it with. The sweet nature of the small onions enhances the taste of the chutney. If small onions are not available, regular red onions can be used. The sesame oil used for seasoning and sautéing enhances the flavor as well. In case you don’t stock sesame oil, any vegetable or sunflower oil can be used.
