Tomato Onion Chutney

Chutneys are often overlooked. But I feel it is what makes or breaks the breakfast!

I was almost going to say - this is my favourite chutney. Then remembered that the 'Katti Chamandi' the thick dry coconut chutney made in kerala is my favourite. So that makes this my second favourite.

My mom used to make this every time she made wheat dosa (See recipe here). Other than eating with dosa and idli, my fav ways of eating this are 1. mix with rice and eat with potato or vendakka fry. 2. as a side for curd rice.
