Tomato Onion Chutney

This is a south Indian chutney, with beautiful flavors. Goes well with idli/dosa but for me I eat it with anything and everything.

A quick recipe and can be stored for a week in the refrigerator. Make it and enjoy. Please do leave any comments or suggestions you might have. Happy Cooking everyone!!!!



Ingredients:

5 medium sized tomatoes - chopped
1 medium sized onion - chopped
2 tbsp chana daal/Bengal gram whole
2 tbsp urad daal/washed black lentil
10-12 curry leaves
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 inch piece of ginger - finely chopped
2 green chili
2 tbsp oil
sugar, salt and black pepper to taste

Recipe:

1. In a pan, add 1 tbsp oil on medium  heat. Add chana daal and urad daal and saute them until golden brown. Once golden brown, take it out of the pan straining excess oil.

2. In the same pan, add onioins and ginger. Saute them until translucent. At this point, add tomatoes and green chili.

3. Cook until tomatoes are cooked thoroughly. Take this out in a mixer-grinder. Add daal mixture and grind everything together. Add a little water if you feel it is thick for your taste.

4. Take it out in a bowl. Now add sugar, salt and pepper to taste.

5. Now for tampering, add 1 tbsp oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, when they start to crackle a little bit add curry leaves too. Once cooked, pour it over the chutney.

6. Serve hot or cold with idli/dosas or anything you like :)
