    Tomato Chutney recipe with step by step pictures and short video. Tomato Chutney is a spicy and tangy accompaniment that goes well with Idli and Dosa . Tomato chutney is simple to make with basic ingredients. I often make this chutney along with Onion Rava Dosa, as it doubles the taste of crispy rava dosa.

    Tomato Chutney

    To make Tomato chutney , always choose ripen tomatoes . Also you can add 1 medium size onion to it , though it is optional , I love my tomato chutney with onion. Every South Indian home as their own family recipes for this Tomato Chutney but my recipe is the most basic recipe with regular ingredients. Few also add peanuts to make Tomato chutney but it has totally different taste from this regular chutney. If you like peanuts in your chutney with tomato then try this Spicy Peanut Chutney , which you may like .

    Dosa and Idli being staple breakfast at home wide varieties of chutneys i are also made . I always choose accompaniments such that along with enhancing taste , it's nutrition absorption should also be taken care. Did you know , how important it is to temper chutney , especially coconut based chutney ???? If you want to have a low GI food , then without thinking about the amount of fat that gets into temper chutney , please pour a desi ghee tadka on your chutney and have it wholeheartedly. Eating right and thoughtfully is the only way to achieve a healthy body with slimmer waistline .

    Few chutney recipes which I have shared are : Regular Coconut Chutney , Masala Dosa Coconut Chutney , Masala Dosa Red Chutney, Pumpkin Chutney , Peanut Chutney , Mooli Chutney , Gorikai Kara |Cluster Bean Chutney and Spicy Peanut Chutney.
