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 teaspoon canola oil
½ tsp paprika
¼ teaspoon garam masala
¼ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon 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.

Sophia says
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?
admin says
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! ;)
