Spring Onion Curry Recipe with video. An amazingly flavourful and quick to make subzi that goes well with chapathis and puris. This curry is also vegan and gluten free.

Spring onions are also called as "Vengaya Thaal" in tamil. The leaves are most commonly used as a garnish while Indo-chinese mains like Fried Rice, Veg Noodles, Chilli Paneer and soups.

If you happen to buy bunch of spring onions to garnish and have no idea what to do with the rest, here is a subzi for you to make, so that you do not have to really waste the rest after all.

We had a terrace garden at home and both myself and my mom used to grow all sorts of flowering plants but the main focus was on growing various types of spinach.

We had a patch for Arai keerai, manathakkali, Thoodhuvalai, ponnaganni keerai and I used to water the plants with “Kazhani” (water used to wash rice).

But I really loved growing onion bulbs next to methi in whatever left over spots in the patch as they grew quickly.

Every time I harvested the stalks, my mom used to make this curry and pack it for school which I really loved to eat and that was all before my marriage.

But now since I live in an apartment there is no chance of even a terrace garden and I have to make do with small containers and pots to grow something if I want.

I had been growing methi (fenugreek) regularly and harvesting for the past few months and grew tired of it. So I decided to plant some onion bulbs and when I pulled out the grown up stalks a few days ago, all I could think of is to make this curry and eat it with chapathis.

This curry will look elegant and mess free in the form of Spring Onion Rolls as well and I’m sure the kids will adore them when you make it for them and pack to school.

Points to note:

I have used kalonji which is also called as onion seeds for the tempering. If you do not have them on hand, use cumin or mustard seeds.

You will need approximately 10 stalks along with the bulbs to make this curry.

If you wish to add any vegetables in this subzi, mushrooms will go really well as they get cooked very quickly along with the greens and require no extra cooking time.

You can also make this as a dry subzi or bhurji and add grated or crumbled paneer or tofu to this.

If you like eggs, then scramble and add it to the subzi like you would in egg bhurji.
