Milagai Chutney Recipe – Easy Chilli Onion Chutney

September 2, 2013 by Sharmilee J 26 Comments

Red Chilli Onion Chutney

I learnt this milagai chutney / poondu milagai chutney from my cousin.This is a very simple and easy chutney recipe that can be made in flat 10mins sure helpful during the busy hours.This is a great sidedish for idli dosa or even chapathi….but I love it best with soft idlis.

I got this bucket few months ago and was waiting to use it for the clicks…and finally did.I always wanted light blue props and finally found one of my choice….:)

Milagai Chutney Recipe

Red Chilli Onion Chutney

My Notes:

  • Use gingelly oil(nallenai) generously while serving.
  • If you feel 4 red chillies is more for you then reduce to 3 but this is needed to compensate the slight sweetness let out by onions.
  • The chutney becomes thick more like a thokku after sauteing…make sure you add little water to make it chutney consistency before serving.
  • This keeps well for a day in room temperature and 3 days when refrigerated so its sure ideal for travel.

    I do this the other way around. Saute onions and red chillies. Then cool and grind it 🙂 Don't use garlic or tamarind though. Will try with that next time.
