Onion-tomato chutney

Dosa - chutney is the ultimate South Indian breakfast. Actually idli and chutney used to be the standard breakfast every week day during my childhood. When you have the batter made it's one less meal to plan. This is my favorite chutney and I make it quite often. DH loves his peanut chutney... no surprise for an Andhra guy I guess. But onion-tomato chutney is slowly becoming one of his favorites too.


Onions: 2 medium. coarsely chopped
Tomato: 1. coarsely chopped
Red chilies: 3-4 (or according to taste)
pinch of tamarind
Mustard, split urad dal, curry leaves for seasoning

Heat some oil and add the onions and chilies. Fry for a couple of minutes and add the tomatoes. Fry until soft. Remove from heat. You can wait for it to cool a bit before grinding. Add salt, tamarind and grind until smooth. Do not add any water. Heat some oil and splutter mustard seeds, urad dal and curry leaves and add to chutney. Serve with hot idlis or dosa.
