Ingredients
For Dough:

| Oil | 1 tsp- 1 tblsp |

Method:
- Make equal sized balls out of the dough and the stuffing.
- Roll the dough ball to a thick,palm sized circle.
- Keep the stuffing in the middle and cover it from all sides towads the middle and press to a patty.
- dust the platform with flour and roll as thin as possible so that the dough covers the stuff as a thin layer.

Tomato Garlic Chutney:
(Picture Updated on 17/7/’11)
This is very simple to make and it can be a good side dish for aloo,methi parathas! Also I would recommend this chutney because,the garlic in this chutney nullifies/neutralizes the gastric properties of aloo,so good for health chutney
. This is a treat for garlic flavour loving people and perfect for all sort of parathas/stuffed and plain. Try this,you will be amazed!Ingredients:
| Tomato | 2 big (ripe) |
| Garlic | 10 - 12 flakes |
| Salt | as needed |
| Gingely oil | 1/8 Cup + 2 tblsp |
Method:
- Chop the tomatoes roughly, peel and Crush the garlic little.Grind the tomatoes in a mixer to a smooth paste without adding water.and then add this to the ground tomato and again run 2-3 times (use Juice/inch option),taking care to not to grind it smooth..Garlic should be visible as little little bits.
- Heat the gingelly oil(nallennai),preferably in a flat broad pan...really really hot,till it fumes.Add the ground mixture and stir well. Let it boil only for a minute and by this time the colour would have changed and the oil should have separated.
- Put off the stove and transfer to the serving bowl!

Love the Paratha. If you fry the Garlic before adding to Tomato, you don't get a strong smell of garlic. I am a garlic lover although I don't like to smell like garlic!:D
Chutney looks great. Enjoy, see you on Monday!:)
But the speciality of this chutney is that raw smell of garlic!
Thankyou for the compliments Asha!

Aloo parathas are a favorite at home but I haven't mastered the art of making perfect ones yet. Yours look so good. The chutney colour is amazing and it sounds very yummy.

Garlic Tomato chutney is perfect combination for Aloo paratha.

Hi Raks, Wish you a very happy new year. Trust you had lovely time. Did u go to watch fireworks at Marina bay? Btw, paratha and chutney looks gr8.Yummy combo. I would prefer frying garlic bf4 I add to my dishes ;)..to keep away from raw garlic smell.
What a yumm combo in the New Year. Love it.
Nice Paratha & chutney! Love garlic, it adds so much flavour to any dish!
I love garlic in this tomato chutney. That will surely add up a twist to its savory taste.
Dont we need to add anything to spice it up (like chillies, chilly powder etc).
Aruna, I assume you are asking for the chutney, as I have mentioned in the post, the spiciness from garlic is enough for this chutney.
