Call it Tomato Chutney, Tomato Coconut Chutney or simply Red Chutney, this is one of my oft quick go to recipe. Another sibling to the famous Coconut Chutney, it makes a great accompaniment to many - be it Dosas, idlis or even to humble roti. Try yawning just now - how much time did it take you? Well thats how much time it takes to prepare this chutney too ;-) - ok almost :)

You can make this as fiery hot to as mild as possible. The key is to use fresh ingredients. No canned tomatoes pls. I have had this "spam-me-with-can" ideas given by so many "Ooooh I am too busy to spell kitchen" ppl that its not even funny. Well instead of struggling to find a can opener and opening one, you can make this chutney instead with just a wee bit effort but way lot better taste. I follow my mom's recipe with few changes.
