Ingredients

  • 1 large onion optional
  • 10 cloves garlic optional
  • 3-4 large tomatoes chopped in large chunks
  • 5-6 whole Red Chilly
  • 2 teaspoon sesame oil can use any oil
  • ½ teaspoon jeera
  • ½ teaspoon methre (Fenugreek seeds)
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (Rai)
  • salt as per taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Gather all the ingredients. Wash Curry leaves, tomatoes and onions under running water. Roughly chop onion and tomatoes. I have used garlic bulbs as is. For spices, I have a mixed whole mustard seeds, Methre (Fenugreek seeds) and Jeera (Cumin). You may use whole or grounded as you prefer.
  2. Once oil is hot, add garlic. Saute for few seconds and keep gas on simmer as overcooked/ burnt garlic might spoil the flavour of chutney. Add onions and once transparent, add whole red chillies.
  3. Saute chillies for a min. Add chopped tomatoes. I generally add salt at this step. It makes cooking an easy process. You may cover it with a lid for about 2 min. Keep sauteeing in between.
  4. Once tomatoes leave water and are cooked, you may switch off the flame and set it to cool completely. Grind the mixture in a smooth paste.
  5. Add a fresh tempering of the whole spices, curry leaves mentioned in step 1 to the prepared chutney.
  6. The tangy and spicy tomato Garlic Chutney is ready. Team your Dosa, Idli or Rice with it!!

Notes

  • Always saute the tomatoes on simmer. Slow cooking helps in releasing and better absorption of the flavors.
  • For better roasting, you may roast tomatoes and garlic in OTG or oven. Wash, dry and apply some oil and then roast in oven.
  • Grinding shall always be done when the mixture has cooled of completely.
  • Add little salt when tomatoes are roasted for better cooking.
  • Covering with lid helps cook faster.
