Eerulli Chitranna | How to make Onion Seasoned Rice

Eerulli Chitranna is an interesting version of seasoned rice made with onions and spices. This is an easy dish to make from Karnataka.

I came to know about this dish when I was searching for something else when I came about this word of Eerulli to refer onions. I know we call it Ullipaya, Errakedda in Telugu, and it didn’t strike me to check what it’s called in other languages.

Anyway, I read that there is a dish called Eerulli Chitranna that’s made in Karnataka and that was my dish! I searched and came up with many different dishes that were not related to this, though this was more like it.

Eerulli Chitranna is a simple form of seasoning steamed rice with chilies and other dals to make it little more interesting. I made it for our lunch to be paired with a kootu and it was a good satisfying meal.

Eerulli Chitranna is my pick for E in the AtoZ Biryani/Pulao/Khichdi Festival that’s happening for the April Mega Marathon, where I have opted to make 26 Rice dishes. If you are interested to know what I am doing for E in C4AS, go ahead check it out!
