Onion Chutney

Makes 2 cups of chutney

1. Roast the following in very little oil:

• 2tbsp Channa dhal
• 1tbsp Urid dhal
• 2 long red chillies

2. Grind the above to a fine powder along with

• 3 half inch coconut pieces (I use the bare minimum, can go liberal)
• very little ginger

3. Fry the following until onions turn slight brown:

• 2 medium chopped onions
• 2 chopped garlic cloves

4. When onions cool down to room temperature, grind them to a fine paste

5. Mix the powder (got from step 2) to this onion paste and grind all to mix them evenly
