In some parts of Southern India people do not eat rice on saturday evenings. They only eat breakfast items which are considered to be light dinner. So they eat either the idlis or Dosas and such. Today is one of those days in my house and I am making Dosas for dinner.
I am serving those Dosas with Onion Chutney and Coconut Chutney.

Onions Chutney (Spicy Side Condiment with Onions)
Ingredients:
- 1-11/2 cup pearl onions or shallots pealed
- 1/2-3/4 cup juice of tamarind
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 dried red chillies
- 1 teaspoon cumin divided
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon urad dal
- 1 teaspoon chana dal soaked in water
- 1/2 tablespoon oil divided
- Few curry leaves
In a pan heat 2-3 teaspoons of oil fry half of cumin chana dal and red chillies till they splutter. Add the onions and fry till they become translucent. Let them cool and grind into a smooth paste with the tamarind juice and salt.
Add 1 teaspoon oil and fry the remaining cumin seeds, urad dal and mustard seeds along with curry leaves. (Add 1 or 2 broken red chillies if you like. My chutney was already spicy for me so I skipped them).
Fry them till they become dark. Add this to the chutney and serve with any of the following yummy Dosas
