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.
