Red Chutney for masala dosa

Ever wondered about the spicy red paste smeared inside the masala dosa? It gives so much character to the humble potato masala.

But this paste can become a chutney that tastes good with every morsel of dosa.

Small Onion - 10
(or)
Onion - 1 medium , diced

Garlic - 3 cloves, optional
Tomato - 3, diced
Salt
Chilli powder - 1 tsp or more
Oil - 1 tbsp

Heat oil in a heavy vessel and fry the onion till transparent. Add the garlic, if using, with the onions.

Add the tomato and heat until skin peels off.

Add the chilli powder , salt and mix well.

Grind once cooled.

You can splutter mustard, red chilli and curry leaf to add to the chutney. But I was too lazy! 😬
