Hi friends, thank you all for visiting my website. Today's recipe is erragadda karam. It is basically made with onions and red chillis. We Telugu people like to have spicy food most of the time. Chutneys or pickles are very important among them. In the breakfast menu, we wish to have only chutneys or spicy sambar and curry. Every day we may not be able to prepare chutneys so prepare one or two of them and keep them available. So that we can serve as and when it is necessary. Erragadda karam is one among them.
People of my native place Nellore call onions as erragadda, may be because of the colour of it. So chutney made with onions and red chillies are called Erragadd karam. It is the best accompaniment for dosa and idli or even serves it with upma also. It can be stored for one week or even more if we refrigerate it. I have learned it from my aunt when I visited her place last month. Always she keeps this chutney available on the table. Making erragadda karam is very easy, just soak red chillis and add one or two onions, cumin seeds, salt, and grind it to make smooth chutney for dosa and idli.
