Tomato Onion chutney

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!
