Tomato Chutney

Chutneys are loved by all, isn’t it! A hot, piping dosa and chutney is all you need to kickstart a great day! My all time favourite chutney is the humble coconut chutney and my husbands favourite is this tomato chutney! Though they make a wide variety of chutneys at my husbands place, this is his favourite. It’s a bit time consuming when compared to coconut chutney, but what I like about it, is the myriads of flavours that you get when you taste it.
