    Easy Millet Dosa recipe

    Tomato chutney, a simple everyday condiment made with fresh tomatoes. Thakkali Chutney, an essential condiment on the breakfast table.

    A south-indian breakfast is incomplete without an array of chutney aka condiments. The usual condiment is the Idly podi, famously known as the Gun powder and a must on the condiment table.

    At home, peanut chutney is favorite of my elder one and even my close friends. For kids dabba I usually make Carrot-coconut chutney, an easy way to make kids enjoy carrots. If your child is fussy about certain vegetable, try introducing them in condiments like this.

    Ingredients

    • 4 nos plump red tomatoes
    • 4 nos red chillies i used round variety

    • 3 tablespoon freshly grated coconut optional
    • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
    • ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste
    • coriander leaves for garnish optional

    Tempering

    • 2 teaspoon oil i prefer to use cold pressed groundnut oil/gingely oil
    • ½ teaspoon mustard seeds/kadugu
    • ¼ teaspoon hing/asafoetida
    • few curry leaves

    Instructions

    • Wash the tomatoes in water. Chop them roughly .
    • Heat a kadai with oil, given under tempering. Temper it with mustard seeds, hing, red chilies and curry leaves.
    • To this hot tempering add, chopped tomatoes and saute for a minute.
    • To this add turmeric powder, pounded coriander seeds, salt, and coconut. Add ½ cup of water to this .

    • I normally use immersion blend to blend the chutney. If using, normal blender or mixie jar, wait for the contents to cool well to avoid any mishap in the kitchen.
    • Adjust the consistency of the chutney if needed. Serve the chutney with idly/dosa or any South-indian breakfast

    Notes

    • Coriander seeds in the chutney add wonderful aroma and taste to the chutney. So don’t omit it. 
    • Add coconut is optional but gives the chutney volume and creaminess.
