I had some onion chutney at my South Indian friend's house and after geting the recipe from her I tried it myself. It didn't turn out like hers. It was a bit bittere, it kind of had the 'teekha' onion taste. Can someone please give me a new recipe which turns out right??

  Saute equal amounts of chopped onions (preferably the small saambaar onions) and dried-red chillies in a kadaai for sometime. Then grind them in a mixie adding just enough water to make it thick and enough salt. Add in 3 to 4 teaspoons of oil (preferably coconut oil). This chutney also called "chammanthi" is good for dosai, idly etc.

  you could also try dding a little tamarind while grinding. and then season with mustad, curry leaves fried in some oil (tadka) in the end.

  fry equal amount of onion and tomato ,green chillies(as per ur taste)then grind into paste
  then add salt.
  take oil in a pan put musterdthen add curry leaves.

  if available fresh small, it would be very tasty.
  u can add red chilli instead of green chilli.

  u can add 1 spoon of urad dall,1/1 spring of curry leaves for variation.
