Tomato Chutney 2

After a few lazy days, you know with all the diwali sweets and fried snacks, just ate and slept and forced myself back into my diet. What else could i blame my laziness on, ah! the weather, its getting colder everyday and the rain puts me into sleep and makes me cuddle inside my throw. Now and then i walk a few miles inside the mall, hehe. Its fun, right?

Well, to talk about the chutney, its everything about the tomatoes. Choose juicy, red and blemish-free tomatoes, cook and grind to your desired texture and savor every bite by dipping your favorite idli/dosa/chapathi.

1/2tsp Mustard seeds

1/4tsp Turmeric powder

1/2tsp Paprika

2 Bay leaves

1 pinch Asafoetida

1/2tsp Sugar

2tsp Oil

Salt

How to:

• Switch off when the tomatoes are completely cooked and garnish with cilantro.
