Step 1
Chop the onion. Pressure cook Horse gram/ Kollu, Turmeric, Tomato and oil – 1/2 tsp with 2 cups of water for 2 whistles and in low flame for 5 min. When the pressure is released filter the water. Use the water while grinding chutney or it can be used to make Rasam.

Step 2
Fry the items listed under “To fry” section for 3 min in the given order. The onion should have the little raw smell to give the authentic touch.
