Spicy Tomato Chutney



This is my first chutney recipe in the blog. Thinking what stopping me from posting chutney recipes all this while. I shall come with more chutney recepis to share here. Today I'm sharing spicy tomato chutney which is an ideal companion for South Indian tiffin items such as idli,dosa or uttappam..you can even mix them with your hot white rice and drizzle with little oil...yummy.

I used gingely oil for tempering to enhance the flavor of the chutney and as we all, know the gingely oil has many health beneficial properties. I love spicy food thus, i was generous with chillies in this amazing chutney which you can adjust to your own heat tolerance level. The jaggery added to the chutney, balances the heat well. Do give it a try to serve with your idli or dosa.



Ingredients

3 large tomatoes, chopped
5 green chillies, chopped
4 dry chillies, chopped
9 garlic pods
1/2 tsp jaggery/brown sugar
1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds
1 tbsp tamarind paste
1 tbsp oil
Salt to taste


For Tempering

1 tsp gingely/vegetable oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
Pinch of asafoetida/hing

Methods

Heat oil in a pan, add dry chilly,garlic pods,fenugreek seeds,green chillies and tomatoes. Stir fry for 1 minute and add jaggery. Saute for 3 minutes.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl to cool.

Add the mixture into a blender and add tamarind paste and salt. Grind into a smooth paste. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Heat gingely oil in a pan, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once mustard seeds splutter add pinch of asafoetida and remove from heat.

Transfer the tempered mustard seeds mixture into the chutney bowl and mix well.

Serve with idli,dosa or uttappam.
