மிளகாய் சட்னி / Red Chilli Chutney

Milagai chutney is a common South Indian side for tiffins . This really goes well with hot soft idlis and crispy dosas. Pearl onions / Sambar onions  are preferably used  but its so rare in my place so I used big onion . My mom generally don’t use onion and tomato to this spicy chutney and she grinds using a manual grinding stone ( ammikal ) . I too sometimes prefer without onion and tomato . In that case you should soak the chillies in hot  water for 10 mins and use some water to grind to a smooth paste . Sesame oil gives a nice flavour and is highly recommended as it reduces the spiciness . I love the combo of coconut chutney or sambar with this spicy side . Try this hot chutney with your idlis  , sure its a comforting side for all spicy lovers…

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

 

Red chilli / Vara milagai – 15 – 18  ( Long red chillies –  10-12 )

Garlic cloves – 5 – 6

Onion – 1/2 chopped  /  Sambar onion – 6-7

Tomato – 1/2 chopped

Curry leaves – 1 spring

Salt to taste

Sesame oil – 1 tbsp

 

Preparation

 

Soak the chilli in hot water for 10 mins. Grab your needed ingredients.


Add red chillies, onion , tomato , garlic and salt to the blender and make a smooth paste. Add few curry leaves and give the mixer a single turn and switch off. Transfer it to a bowl.

 

 

Heat oil in a kadai and splutter few curry leaves and add this to the chutney mixture and give a good mix.

                                                                            Hot spicy side - apt for soft Idlis

Notes :
  • No need to add any water while grinding , the moisture from the onion and tomato helps to grind to a smooth paste . If needed add a little water.
  • I prefer much hot so I made it spicy , adjust the amount of red chilli  as per you level of spiciness.  
  • Sesame oil reduces the spiciness and gives a good taste ,  you can use any cooking oil.
