The shallot is a relative of the onion, and tastes a bit like an onion but has a sweeter, milder flavor. They are more expensive than onions and can be stored for at least 6 months..It is widely used in the southern part of India.

In Tamil it is called Sambar Vengayam and Kochulli in Malayalam and is used in Sambar and different types of kuzhambu..i tried it as thuvaiyal n this goes very well as side for sambar saadham, rasam as well as side for idli n dosai…
