Tomato chutney with onion - Tomato chutney for Idli and dosa

Tomato + Onion chutney is a very easy recipe and the specialty of this chutney is, it goes well with idli, dosa, kara kozhakkatai, and chappathi.  

You can instantly grind this chutney as the ingredients are the basic ones in our kitchen.

We can bring some taste differences in this chutney, by varying the proportions of tomato and onion. 

One is using equal quantities of both, next one is with more tomatoes+less onion and the last one is with more onion+less tomatoes. 

Here I have used more tomatoes option.

Ingredients :

Tomatoes - 5 or 6 (normal size)

Big onion - 1 (small or medium size, not very big)

Red Chili - 2 or 3

Rock salt - as per taste

Gingelly oil - 1.5 tbsp









Preparation:

Grind all the ingredients in a mixie.

In a kadai, add gingelly oil. When it is hot, add the ground paste. Stir well and cover with a lid in a slow flame. Let it boil for 10 or 15 minutes. 

Once it is ready, you can notice the change in consistency. It must be thick.

Enjoy this chutney with hot idlis and dosas. You can take this with chappathi while you are traveling.

This is a good combination for kara kozhakkattai too, that is with stuffed urad dal poornam. 

I shall detail this in another post.
