When I posted the recipe for thattukada (street food style) chicken, I’d told you about an amazing onion curry that goes really well with it. Well, here’s the unique recipe you’ve all been waiting for – thattukada (street food style onion curry).

So whenever I make thattukada chicken, I also cook this onion curry to serve with parotta. Thattukada chicken + onion curry + parotta = the lip smacking street food combo!

To make this curry, I simply sautéed the onions and then cooked them in spices. And there you go – a simple street food made at home!

    Hi Nish, I just made your onion curry for the first time and I found it so quick and yummy, but I also added a but of skimmed milk which added to the flavour. Many thanks as I never thought of experiencing onions in this way before.
