Onion Tamarind Gotsu/Gotchu

 

Gotsu/Gosthu/Gothsu/Gojju you can call it however you want. We, South Indians usually have Gothsu with Pongal variant , upma and Idlies. The most common Gothsu is made with Gothsu. Not many must have heard this onion githsu. This is my Grandmother’s signature side dish which never goes wrong when you have it Upma and Rice upma.
