Onion Chutney

Ingredients

• 1 big red onion
• 8-10 dry red chilies (I added a couple of byadage chilies for color, not heat)
• 1 gooseberry sized tamarind piece (if using concentrate, use 1 teaspoon)
• 2 tsp urad dhal/black gram (split/whole is fine; use dehusked (white) ones)
• 1 tbsp oil (to saute the ingredients)
• 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp oil (I use sesame oil to season this chutney, it adds a wonderful flavor)
• 1 tsp urad dhal
• 1 tsp mustard seeds
• 1/2 tsp hing/asafoetida
• 3-4 leaves curry leaves
