This onion curry is a South Indian curry recipe. It is known as Onion / Erulli Gojju and is from the southern state of Karnataka. Erulli means onion in Kannada language.
I always have onions at home as I use them a lot in my cooking. When no other vegetables are available, I make this onion gojju.
This onion gojju curry is a bit spicy and very tasty curry. It is served with Steamed Rice , Chapati , a variety of indian breads
You may use white or red onions for this curry.
