ONION TOMATO CHUTNEY RECIPE


Chutneys always make a great accompaniment or side dish for idly, dosa or Chapatti... Everyone have different version of making onion tomato chutney... And this is my version, which I learnt from my sister during college days. I always prefer chutneys without coconut and that's because of my laziness. So no de frosting the scraped coconut and this is a quick version too. The flavor of ginger and mint goes well and the chutney has mild sweetness because of tomatoes.
