Tomato chutney

You have to try this recipe. I had some friends over for a weekend and I knew I can learn this chutney from the wife. I asked her to teach me this chutney as I always loved tomato chutney I get in Chennai Dosa restaurant.

This turned out to be the best tomato chutney I ever had any where.

The possibility to eat this chutney with are endless. You can eat this with dosa, idli, rice, roti, dhokla or just own its own. It is also important that you stop eating at one point :).

You can keep this chutney for 3-4 days.

Ingredients:

Preparation:
Wash tomato, chili, coriander. Rough chop them.

Heat the pan and add oil. Add Bengal gram and urad dal.
After a minute add peanuts.
Cook until peanuts start to fry and skin cracks.
Remove it in a bowl or plate without oil.
We will use the oil to saute tomatoes. Heat the same pan with the remaining oil again. Add garlic, chilies, and tomatoes.

And remove from heat. Let the dal and tomato cool off before blending into chutney for 10-20 minutes.
