Garlic Onion Chutney – Poondu Chinna Vengayam Chutney | Step by step procedure with pictures
Chutney is one of the popular recipe in Indian Cuisine. Today I am sharing a garlic flavored chutney recipe for Idly / Dosa. If you like garlic flavor then definitely you will like this chutney.
Adding chinna Vengayam (pearl onions / baby onions / sambar onions) gives great flavor to any recipe. Some recipes using pearl onions : Fish Thokku , Milagai killi pota sambar, Thatta payir Avaraikai Kuzhambu , Drumstick leaves soup
Peeling pearl onions and garlic may take time but it really worth for the taste and flavor of the recipe. I recommend using sesame oil for this chutney. While you roasting garlic in sesame oil you feel the aroma around your kitchen. I am adding coconut in this recipe. You can prepare this chutney with or without coconut. Adjust the red chilli quantity according to your taste buds.
