Spicy Onion Chutney

Spicy Onion Chutney is a delicious recipe prepared by blending onions and spices. This fast chutney can be somewhere between fairly and eye-wateringly spicy, depending on your taste. Best enjoyed with frankie, parathas or sandwiches.

This traditional onion chutney is flavoursome comfort food that can be prepared in a jiffy. This is my family’s favourite recipe. I usually make while making vegetable frankie or a side when I make Dal Makhani and homemade butter. I usually use red onions for this recipe but if raw red onions are too harsh a flavour for you, you can make this chutney with white onions or shallots.

Spicy Onion Chutney is simple, delicious and definitely worth a try especially for onion lovers.

Salt to taste
2 teaspoons red chilli powder

You can add a glove of garlic if you like garlic.
Onion chutney can be easily stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for more than a week.
You can freeze the chutney in an airtight container for more than a month.
