Onion coriander chutney recipe -Chinna vengaya chutney or chinna vengaya malli chutney recipe with shallots and fresh coriander leaves together with red chillies and tamarind.
This vengaya chutney is one of the favorite chutney at our home. especially for Paniyaram and Idli it pairs awesome.
One special ingredient is coriander leaves. I suggest using “Nattu malli” if you are able to get it as the taste of the chutney triples with it. If not available you can go with Regular one.
For any basic south Indian chutney for Idli/Dosa, there are Three things “uppu, karam, pulipu” – Salt, Spicy and Tangy. These three flavours in correct amount gives the exact taste for the coconut. With the same ingredients given, we can make many variations just by altering the amount of the above said spice.
Some of daily routine chutneys made at my house :
Another version of onion chutney is Onion tamarind chutney where we don’t add garlic and curry leaves
Coimbatore thakkali kuzhambu – My all time favorite. Not only for me but everyone at my house loves it with Idli, Dosa and Paniyaram.
Thakkali Bhaji is one recipe which I make if am not in a mood to cook 🙂 Easy as breeze.
