Ingredients
  

  • 2 large onions sliced
  • 1 ripe tomato cubed
  • 2-3 dry red chillies adjust to taste
  • 1 large clove of garlic chopped
  • 1/4 tsp of hing perungaayam, asafoetida
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tsp of oil

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil and add the sliced onions. Fry until light golden brown and soft. Add the red chillies, garlic, and hing and fry for a while longer until the garlic doesn't smell raw anymore.
  • Add the chopped tomato and salt. Mix well and cook until the tomatoes turn soft and the mixture is moist. Remove from the stove and set aside to cool.
  • Grind without adding water to a smooth paste.

Notes

  • Use some tamarind if the tomato is not very sour
  • You can make this chutney with just onions and omit the tomatoes
  • Add red chilli powder instead of dry red chillies, works well either way
