From My Own Place  Pala /Kottayam 

Ingredients

    Green Chillies (cut into small pieces) – 5 Nos.
    Juice of half a lemon

 Mix together all the above ingredients in a bowl.
 Squeeze the onions well for around 2-3 minutes till it is soft and the onions give a deep pink color. The secret to this recipe is that you have to mix everything well with your hand. The more you squeeze the onions, the better.Serve along   with Fried Rice orBiriyani or Cutlets or Appam or any Kerala Dish.
