Kaara Chutney Recipe/Rosapoo Chutney Recipe/Sambar Vengaya Chutney/Pearl Onion Chutney Recipe[Side dish for Idlis & Dosas]

This chutney is very special and quick chutney that can be made in minutes. You all must be surprised with the name “rosapoo” – yes that is how it is called in Nagapattinam. When I was a small kid, I used to think this chutney had rosapoo(rose) in it, very funny…

But my mom used to say, this chutney is made of sambar vengayam, red chillies and tamarind which give a beautiful color, from which it gets its name. This is my mom’s special recipe, she makes this is in ammi (grinding stone) it gives heavenly taste.  Check out other delectable chutneys here.  

Here’s how to make it with photos…

Ingredients

Sambar Vengayam/Pearl onions
25-30
Dry Red Chillies
6-8 (or add more to make it spicy)
Tamarind/puli
1 small gooseberry size ball
Salt
As needed

To Temper

Mustard seeds
 ½ tsp
Cumin seeds
½ tsp
Curry leaves
5
Gingelly oil
4 tbsp
Total Time: Less than 15 minutes
Author: Priya Anandakumar

Method

In the mixer blend the red chillies and tamarind together to make a fine paste. Now add the pearl onions, salt and blend them in the mixer.

Transfer the chutney to a bowl, add about 3 tbsp of oil and mix well.

In a kadai heat remaining oil, temper with ingredients mentioned and add it to the chutney.

Yummy, spicy, delicious chutney is ready to served with hot idli’s and dosa’s.


Note:
Since we use the mixer for grinding the red chillies they don’t grind easily, soak the red chillies in warm water for 10 min, drain the water and grind it in the mixer.

If you don’t have time to temper, than just add 4 tbsp of oil mix well and serve it.
