This red onion chutney is a nice side to have!
Perfect ice cold on top of spicy kebabs
This onion chutney is about as easy as it gets. It’s too simple for words but then who said that delicious Indian dinners had to be complicated?
Find yourself a nice fresh red onion and it will do all the work for you. This is a very popular side chutney often served with pappadams. You know it will taste quite nice on those kebabs you’re thinking about making too.
It is essential to serve it ice cold. Room temperature onions just won’t work here.

Slice your onions either paper thin or slightly thicker like the photo at the top.
Squeeze in the lemon juice and add the salt, sugar and chillies (if using).
Serve cold.
