Tomato Onion Chutney for Idli and Dosa

Whenever I prepare Idli at home, my son always wants to have it with Tomato onion chutney. He likes this combination so much that he won't even touch Samber. We like this chutney little spicy. So, here is the receipy.

Ingredients

• 2 tomatoes cut in big blocks (avoid taking soft tomatoes)
• 2 onion cut in big pieces
• 2 green chili (or as per your taste)
• 2-3 garlic cloves
• a block of garlic cut in big pieces
• 1 dried red chili (optional)
• 1-2 table spoon oil
  
• Spices (Red chili powder, Turmeric powder, Salt to taste, mustard seeds, kari leaves)
  

Procedure

• Heat 1 table spoon oil in a pan.
  

• Add ginger, garlic, green and red chili on oil
  

• Add Onion and let it cook for 1-2 minutes till onion looks little soft or translucent.
  

• Add tomatoes and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes
  

• We don't have to cook tomatoes too much. We just have to saute it. Personally I don't like tomatoes to be too soft and loose water here. 
  

• Let it cool now. Once cooled, grind this in grinder to form a paste.
  

• For garnishing: heat half a table spoon oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds. Add kari leaves when mustard seeds start to crackle. Add this on the paste.
