This is a simple chutney I make very often to go with idlis and dosas. It tastes well with even upma or pongal but incomparable complement to idli/dosas.
Tomato Onion Chutney
Dried red chillies (whole) - 2 to 3 depending on the spicyness
Big onions - 2
Tomatoes - 2
salt - required
oil - 1 tbsp
To season : mustard seeds, urad dhal, curry
Recipe :
- In a skillet add 1 tbsp of oil, saute red chillies till crisp.
- Add onions and saute till they turn a pale brown.
- Add tomatoes and saute them till the tomatoes turn pulpy or their skin shrink.
- switch off the flame and add the required salt.
- cool and grind (no water needed as tomato gives juice for grinding)
- season with mustard seeds, urad dhal and curry leaves in 1/2 tsp of oil and add it to the chutney.
Note:
- Dried red chillies can be substituted with fresh red chillies or green chillies. Taste might be a little different.
- A handful of coriander leaves can be added to the mixture before grinding.
- Add or remove chillies if finding it too spicy or bland for your taste.
- This chutney served with a drop of seasame oil on top tastes divinely with steaming hot idlis.
Taste and Enjoy!
