Spring Onions Subji


I've always loved the flavor of spring onions and have never tried it in anything beyond Chinese, Italian or in Omlettes... I had decided to make dosas for dinner but did not want the same old combinations of chutney/ sambhar and the like...  I put this together last night as an accompaniment with Dosa's and it was awesome , if I may say so myself :) Here is how I made it :

What all you will need ( for two people) :


  • Spring Onions : 1 -2 chopped
  • Onion: 1/2 sliced thin
  • Methi Seeds: 1/4 tsp
  • Red Chillies: 2 broken
  • Oil: to fry
  • Sambar powder: 1- 1/2 tsp
  • Hing: a small pinch
  • Besan: 3/4 - 1 tablespoon.

How to make it :


  • Heat oil in a pan, add the methi and red chilli when the oil is hot.
  • Now add the sliced onions and fry for a few minutes.
  • Now add the spring onions and saute for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the Sambar powder and saute for a minute.
  • Add the Besan and stir well. fry for a few minutes.
  • Now, add some water until you get some gravy.
  • Allow it to boil for 2 minutes. Add salt to taste.
This can be had with Roti's also or as a sandwich spread as well :)
