As promised, here’s the recipe for the onion chutney that I served with the Indian Butter Chicken. You can whip this chutney up in about a minute and the flavor just gets better the longer it sits. If you like your chutney to have a bit of heat, you can add some minced jalapeno, hot sauce, or cayenne powder.
Onion Chutney
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 oz tomato paste
2 TB apple cider vinegar
1 TB honey
1 tsp canola oil
½ tsp paprika
¼ tsp garam masala
¼ tsp turmeric
¼ tsp cumin
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 TB minced fresh parsley or cilantro
In a small saucepan over medium heat, sauté for 30 seconds to a minute, everything except the onion and parsley/cilantro; let the spice sauce cool to room temperature. Mix the spice sauce with the onion and parsley/cilantro, and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This stays good for up to a week in the fridge.

I don’t care for onion but the kids do so long as they’re not plain. I bet they’d really like this.

I’m so going to make this, I love it so much I can eat in on bread!
I would do anything for a waffle with syrup.
Yummm. . . I love butter chicken, but I can see this chutney being good on SO many things!
Oooh thankyou! I just got some really nice chutneys in the mail but there wasn’t an onion chutney so I might give this a go when having an Indian feast! :D

I love chutney. I bet this would make an awesome cheese and chutney sandwich (which are quite popular here in england).
Oh I think this looks great. I’m so sad my boyfriend does not like Indian food. It’s my favorite and I never get to eat it:(
What do you serve it with? It looks delicious. I could see, standing, and just eating it, looking over my shoulder, with every bite.
Chaya, I served it with Indian Butter Chicken and basmati rice. Lol, your way sounds good too! :)
How delicious!! I can’t wait to try it! I bet it’s good with a lot of different things.

You always come up with the most fantastic recipes! Too bad I don’t live closer to you so I could taste everything you create!! :)
This is beautiful! great side dish!
Very nice! I’m going to make this someday, thanks for sharing!
I am checking out this and the butter chicken recipe. They are my favourite food!
It looks amazingly flavorful! I’d love to try this. And what do you know? I think I have most of the ingredients…is it ok if I leave out some of the spices that I don’t have?
Sophia, You can use whatever spices you have on hand, or you can use a spice blend (like curry powder or 5 spice). If you make it, let me know what spices you end up using! ;)
