Tomato Chutney

I love chutney's. It brightens up any meal unlike very few accompaniments. In India, any South Indian meal is considered incomplete without a chutney. Tomato chutney is my hubby's all-time favorite chutney. Even my son who doesn't usually eats chutney's, enjoys this tomato chutney a lot. This chutney is a perfect accompaniment to dosa's, idli's, rice and my hubby loves eating it with Hari Moong Dal Khichdi too.

Ingredients:-

• 2 tomatoes (chopped)
• 1 onion (chopped)
• 2 cloves of garlic (chopped)
