Preheat the broiler.
Char the skins of the poblanos by roasting them over an open flame on a gas stove or grill.
Place the charred poblanos in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
Peel off the charred skins and remove the stems and seeds from the poblanos.
On a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, place the tomatillos cut side down.
Transfer the baking sheet to the broiler and cook until the tomatillo skins are charred and the flesh has softened.
Put the tomatillos in a blender along with the poblanos, cilantro, lime juice, and garlic, and puree until smooth.
Transfer the salsa to a small bowl and stir in the sugar.
Season the salsa with salt and cayenne pepper, and thin it with water if needed. Set aside.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the onion and chopped cilantro. Set aside.
Light the charcoal and let it burn until covered with gray ash, then spread the coals evenly over the surface of the coal grate. Alternatively, if using a gas grill, set all the burners to high heat.
Place the cooking grate on the grill and allow it to preheat for 5 minutes.
