ONION TOMATO CHUTNEY
SIDE DISH FOR IDLY DOSA
My kid always prefer sambhar or any other gravy kind for idly and dosa as side dish,but some times in our morning hurry burries,we cannot make anything elaborate or we dont have any mood to cook. So I make this, he likes this too anyways. I learnt this from my mom-in-law,I have already jotted so much about her idlies and how I love them(I can shamelessly tell if she makes hot idlies and this chutney,I can eat a dozen of idlies without any worries,hehe), this chutney also she makes equally good, the same chutney when she makes tastes divine to me,though I am nearing to get mine as her chutney’s taste :)
Ingredients:
| Onion | 1 medium sized |
| Tomato | 1 big sized |
| Kadalai paruppu/Channa dal | 1 tblsp |
| Red chillies | 3 nos. |
| Asafoetida | A generous pinch |
| Coconut | a Small piece / 1 tblsp |
| Oil/Ghee | 2 tsp |
| Salt | As needed |
To temper
| Oil | 1 tsp |
| Mustard | 3/4 tsp |
| Urad dal | 1 tsp |
| Curry leaves | 1 sprig |
Method
- Cut onion and tomato into chunks.
- Heat a tsp of oil in a pan and fry the red chillies and channa dal until the dal turns golden brown colour.
- Transfer to a plate and set aside. Fry the onion until transparent and add the tomato and fry till it turns soft.
- Cool down and transfer to the mixer,add salt and coconut and grind everything together to a smooth paste. Add little water while grinding.
- Transfer to the serving bowl and temper with the Items given under To Temper table. Mix well and serve with hot Idly or dosa!

never tried this chutney with coconut...what an idea raji!!...
Looks great... some queries:
1. could not find the "To Temper" table...
2. Is this fresh coconut or desiccated?
Thanks,
Aseem
Hi aseema, I somehow missed to add the 'To temper table',glad that you saw and mentioned it,now I have edited to add that. And the coconut is fresh coconut,not sure how desiccated would taste in this!
Love the color of your chutney.. I use sesame and/or peanuts instead of coconut. Will try using coconut next time.
