The spicy Tomato chutney is served as side with Idli and Dosai in a South Indian Breakfast. This chutney is very simple to make and takes less than 10 minutes.

Please see the following steps on how to make the spicy tomato chutney

Step 1: Ingredients

Chop one medium sized onion and add to a mixer grinder
Take two tomatoes, slice and add to the mixer grinder
Add three dried red chilies. You can add few more to make the chutney more spicy
Add salt to taste

Step 2: Grind to Paste

Grind all ingredients together to make a fine paste.
There is no need to add water as the water content in onion pieces and tomato is enough to make the paste to the required consistency.
Transfer the paste to a metal pan

Step 3: Ingredients for Tempering

Heat one tablespoon of oil over medium flame
When oil is heated, add a tablespoon of mustard seeds mixed with split black gram lentils
When the mustard seeds start to crack, add a handful of Curry leaves to the oil. Take care as the curry leaves will make the oil splatter

Step 4: Serve With Hot Idli and Dosai

Immediately pour the hot oil with fried ingredients over the tomato paste in the pan. The oil will cover the surface of the paste and raw smell will disappear.

Our simple and spicy tomato chutney is ready. Serve with hot idli and dosai along with coconut chutney and sambar.
