Small Onion Red Chilli Chutney - South Indian Style Raw Onion Chutney

My mom makes this spicy raw onion chutney (Chinna vengayam chutney) in South Indian style along with coconut chutney for idlis & dosa. She makes it with small onions, red chilli and tamarind. We call it as vengaya chutney in Tamil. Its very easy to make & it tastes great with hot idli drizzled with lots of sesame oil. This pacha vengaya chutney is my most favourite chutney recipe. To me, its the best side dish for idli dosa in the world ;). I can have any number of idli or dosa with this raw onion chutney. It tastes good for one day travel too. Lets see how to make this yummy,easy raw onion chutney recipe with red chilli.
