Onion Curry for roti

One evening I was looking for some quick side dish for roti and got this recipe. It's a simple curry which is different from the usual kurma and chutneys. This is a mild side dish and uses only green chilies for the hotness. So adjust the chillies according to the taste.

Ingredients

Onion(big)-1

Green chillies-3 (adjust to your taste)

Tomato(small)-1

Mustard seeds-1/2teaspoon

Coriander powder-1/2teaspoon 

Turmeric powder-1/8teaspoon 

Salt

Oil 

To make a powder

Desiccated coconut-1tablespoon

Garlic-2cloves 

Method

Juliane the onions, chop the tomato and green chilly.

Powder the coconut and garlic  and keep it aside.

Heat oil in a pan, add the mustard seeds, let them pop.

Then add the onions, fry for 2-3 minutes.
Then add in the turmeric powder and green chillies, keep cooking for 2-3 minutes.
By now, the onions would have become transparent, add in the coriander powder, tomato, coconut-garlic powder with enough salt.
Add about 1/2cup of water, and let the curry boil nicely.

Once the curry reached your desired consistency, add in the chopped coriander leaves, and put off the flame. Serve along with roti's, idli or dosa.
