Vadaga Chutney

             Vengaya ( Onion ) Vadagam made of small onions, Urad Dhal and red chillies is a dry product to be deep fried in the oil. It is very popular, special and unique of the Tirunelveli region.It seems to be made in Tanjore and some other places also but with slight variations.Some people call it Thazhippu ( seasoning )
Vadagam.

           This Chutney, made of Vengaya Vadagam seems to be the " invention" of my law's family.
