Ingredients
tomato 1 chopped
small onion/shallots 10-15 whole (best taste with this)
whole dried red chilly 2
salt to taste
curry leaves few
oil 2tsp
Method
- Place a pan on medium heat,pour oil .Add the red dry chillies,curry leaves and saute.Add the onion and saute for a minute until translucent. Add the tomatoes and salt. Mix for a minute.Remove from flame and leave to cool.Grind the mix in a mixer without adding water.Chutney is ready to serve.
- You may even temper the chutney by adding oil to a pan,splutter mustard seeds,red dry chillies and curry leaves. Pour over chutney and mix. (I generally avoid tempering this chutney as we already saute the ingredients in oil).
NOTES
* You can use half of a large onion chopped too instead of shallots however shallots taste better.
* Don't add any water while grinding. The water from tomatoes is good enough to grind.
* You can temper this chutney by heating a pan with 1tsp oil ,mustard seeds,curry leaves and red dry chillies. I usually omit tempering just to avoid the extra oil.
* You can even add 2 tbsp of grated coconut to the sauteed mix to add consistency and taste to the chutney,makes a difference.
