Onion-Tomato-Corriander Chutney

I love this one and given this, I could eat a ton of idly's or dosa's any day.

Ingredients:

1. Shallots (Small Onions) - 100 gms (or) Big Onions - 2


2. Tomatos - 3 big ripe ones


3. Red Chilly - 3-4 depending on your taste


4. Green Chilly - 1-2 depending on your taste


5. Corriander Leaves - 1 small bunch


6. Curry Leaves - 1 sprig


7. Tamarind - 1 inch piece


8. Coconut Oil - 5-6 tblsp (You could use any oil of your choice, I prefer coconut oil for this chutney)\


9. Salt to taste.

Method

1. Heat coconut oil in a pan.


2. Add curry leaves, red chilly and green chilly and saute.


3. Add shallots/onions and saute till translucent.


4. Add tomatoes and cook till tomatoes are soft and mushy. I add salt at this stage as it helps cook the onions and tomatoes quicker.


5. Add the tamarind piece and corriander and cook for 3-5 minutes.


6. Take off flame and cool.


7. Beat in blender till smooth. You could check salt at this stage and adjust.

This goes very well with Idly's and Dosa's. I also like it with Upma.
