I love onion chutney recipes more than coconut chutney or tomato chutney varieties. And that too this small onion chutney (Chinna vengaya chutney) is my most favorite side dish for idli dosa next to my my mom’s raw onion chutney.
Small onions also known as sambar onion or shallots is one of the costliest vegetables in Bangalore. Its always priced double when compared to Salem, Tamil nadu. So I buy and use it very rarely in my kitchen. But this is my go to chutney recipe whenever I have small onions in stock.
This onion chutney is without tomato or coconut. So it stays good for travel. You can use it for one day at room temperature and up to one week under refrigeration. Tastes the best with hot idli and dosa. Don’t forget to add some gingely oil while serving because it tastes mildly spicy.
Now lets see how to make small onion chutney / chinna vengaya chutney for idli, dosa with step by step pictures and video !
