Seeni Sambal (Sweet And Spicy Onion Relish) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 large red onions, sliced
4 -5 garlic, sliced
1 small piece ginger, grated
curry leaf, a few
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
2 -3 teaspoons jaggery
1 tablespoon tamarind extract (or use a small lime sized ball with minimum water to extract the pulp)
3 teaspoons oil
salt, as needed

Preparation

Heat oil in a pan, add the curry leaves, onions, ginger and garlic and saute until the onion starts to brown.
Add the chili powder, salt, tamarind extract and continue to cook on low heat until the onion comes together 20-25 minutes.
Add the jaggery at the end when your required consistency is reached.
Continue to cook for a few more minutes until the jaggery is incorporated well.
Enjoy with rice, idli, dosai (I don't like those at all), chapathi or stringhoppers.
This condiment can stay for at least a week refrigerated.
