Tomato Chutney

August 31, 2009 by PadhuSankar 16 Comments

Tomato chutney is a versatile chutney which goes well with most tiffin items like idli, dosa, chapati, upma, adai, parathas. It can also be used as a spread for sandwich or bread toast. It is quick and easy to make. It needs less ingredients which are commonly available in all homes. I make tomato chutney with many variations. Today we will see how to make a simple South Indian style tomato chutney without garlic.

    Thank you Padhu for this yummy tomato chutney recipe. I was searching for a good accompaniment with Rava Idli when I saw your chutney recipe. It turned out delicious.
    A few changes that I made were adding a pinch of asafoetida while tossing the onions in oil, and 1 tsp of white sesame seeds. It enhanced the aroma of the mixture. Is the seasoning required? I had skipped it. I look forward to trying more recipes on your blog. Thanks again, you are a wonderful cook.

    Hello Mrs.Padma,

    This is a simple recipe which tastes great. Can also be had with rice.
    You mentioned that the mixture should be cooled before grinding. I came to know from my grandma that the reason for this is that if ground when hot, the chutney will get spoilt very soon.
    As a general suggestion, please also mention the reason for doing something rather than just doing it.

    Thanks,
    Vikas
