Tomato Onion Fried Gram Chutney

Of the many chutneys that can be made in a jiffy, Tomato Onion Fried Gram Chutney is the easiest to make. This Chutney can be relished with almost all of the SouthIndian Snacks like Idli | Dosa | Adai | Uttappam | Vada | Upama | Venpongal.

Amma was trying out a new recipe today - Varagu Upama and to go with that she made this yummy chutney.

INGREDIENTS

1 Tomato, large, roughly chopped

1 Onion, large, roughly chopped

2 Green Chilli

1 tblsp Pottukadalai | Chutney Dal | Fried Gram
1 tblsp Fresh Dhania | Coriander Leaves, finely chopped

1/2 tsp Oil

To taste Salt

METHOD

In a kadhai, dry roast Fried Gram to just make them warm. Transfer to a plate and keep aside.
In the same kadhai, heat oil and add onions and saute for 2 minutes.
Add chopped tomatoes. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
Switch off gas and let the sauteed onions-tomatoes cool.
Grind sauteed onions-tomatoes, roasted fried gram, fresh dhania, green chilli and salt to a fine paste. Add water as per required consistency of thickness.
Serve fresh. Store in air tight container in refrigeration. This will stay fresh for 3 days. I do not know beyond that, as by then we would have finished this YUM chutney.

We have used:

1. Sundrop Heart Oil

2. Tata Salt Lite
