Tomato chutney

March 30, 2015 By Manjooo M Leave a Comment

Few years back when I was working in Bangalore, there was a restaurant in Indira Nagar Double road, next to HDFC bank. I don’t remember the name of the restaurant. They serve all variety of idli and dosas. I always like to go there. Weekends I visit the grocery shop next to that restaurant, just not to miss a chance to taste the variety of dosas.  Though there was direct bus to my work place, I leave home early buy a food packet or to have breakfast from there..I still relish that taste..

May be there is nothing much special about that place, But I like the red chutney served there. It was a tomato onion chutney. .. It is strange that I never thought about making that chutney at home. Don’t ask me why.

After coming to Qatar, we keep visiting vegetarian restaurants to eat the dosas and idli.

Very lately, when I was speaking to one my friend M couple of days back, she mentioned she is going to make this chutney. I asked her the recipe and she gave me. The procedure is so simple. I wonder what stopped me from trying this recipe at least once at home. Anyways better late than never!!!

Here you go

  • Onion – 1 medium sized cut into chunks
  • Tomato – 1 big cut into 4
  • Garlic – 1 small clove
  • Dry red chilies – 2
  • a pinch of asafoetida
  • Tamarind (Seedless) – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Coconut or refined oil – 3/4 teaspoon
  • Salt


For tempering

  • Coconut or refined oil – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Mustard seeds – 1/4 teaspoon or little less

You have to

  • Heat a pan in medium flame
  • Add 3/4 teaspoon oil, red chili, onion and garlic and saute till onions turn translucent.
  • Add the tomato and saute till it become soft (You could skip sauting the tomatoes)
  • Transfer these into a grinder along with tamarind paste and salt.
  • Grind these ingredients to a smooth paste.
  • Add water only if required.
  • Pour the chutney in a serving bowl.
  • Heat the remaining oil in the same pan
  • Add the mustard seeds and allow to pop and then pour the tempering over chutney
  • Serve with Dosa or idli

Happy cooking !!!
