Spicy tomato chutney, a perfect accompaniment for idli, dosa, chapati and parathas.

best combination is to eat this tomato chutney with dosa.

I’ve already talked about my love for chutney in my chutney recipes. When I have a perfect, lip smacking chutney, a bowl of kanji or congee is all I need for a perfect meal, rather than elaborate dishes.

When growing up we ate chutney almost daily. YES! daily. Being south Indian morning breakfast and afternoon school tiffin would be mostly dosa and idly accompanied with chutney.

I really miss those exotic chutney’s as I would call them now. Moringa flower chutney, banana blossom chutney, brine mango chutney, coconut chutney with dry shrimp to name a few. But I do make ridge gourd peel chutney, sweet bitter melon chutney, raw mango chutney which are family favourites. Makes my mouth water as I type these words.

Spicy tomato chutney came home, a bit late, after Mum had watched it in tv cooking show, which later became favourite with dosa. Till then we relished tomato gojju with chapatis.

Spicy tomato chutney recipe

**Tomatoes – Choose plump, ripe tomatoes for the recipe.

Step by step method –

1- Heat 1 tbsp cooking oil in a pan. To this add urad dal/ split black gram and fry for a minute. No need to fry till golden as it will get fried in later stages.

2- Add chopped onion. Then add garlic. Fry till onion turns translucent.

3- Add dried red chilli. Fry till they puff a bit. Do this in medium flame otherwise the chillies will turn black.

4- Add chopped tomatoes. Add salt and mix well. Cook till the tomatoes turn soft. Put off the stove and allow it to cool.

5- Now take the tomato mixture in blender/grinder. Grind it to smooth paste without adding water. Remove the prepared chutney and transfer it into serving bowl.

6- Heat a small pan and add 2 tsp oil. To this add mustard seeds. When they crackle add crushed garlic, asafoetida and curry leaves and fry for 2 mins.

7- Pour the tempering to the chutney and mix it. Serve it with dosa, idli, chapati and paratha.

This is the natural red colour of this tomato chutney.
