My version is the Kerala version of this humble recipe.
Steps:
5. Grind the roasted coconut-coriander mix and add pepper powder and pour ¼ glass of water. Keep this paste ready aside.
6. Chop two big onions longitudinally. Take a pan and pour one table spoon oil and put the chopped onions into the pan and sauté till it turns brown.(adding salt while sautéing speeds up the process)
Very good side dish for Appam, idiyappam and also chapatti.
