Tomato Garlic Chutney is a quick recipe of tomatoes roasted in pan/kadai with garlic and whole red chilly, that goes well with dosa, idli, rice and even parathas.
Equipment
- Pan/ kadai
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 large onion optional
- 10 cloves garlic optional
- 3-4 large tomatoes chopped in large chunks
- 5-6 whole red chilly
- 2 teaspoon desi ghee can use any oil
- ½ teaspoon jeera
- ½ teaspoon methre (Fenugreek seeds)
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (Rai)
- salt as per taste
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. Wash Curry leaves, tomatoes and onions under running water. Roughly chop onion and tomatoes. I have used garlic bulbs as is. For spices, I have a mixed whole mustard seeds, Methre (Fenugreek seeds) and Jeera (Cumin). You may use whole or grounded as you prefre. Take 2 teaspoon desi ghee in a pan.
- Once ghee is hot, add garlic. Saute for few seconds and keep gas on simmer as overcooked/ burnt garlic might spoil the flavour of chutney. Add onions and once transparent, add whole red chillies.
- Saute chillies for a min. Add chopped tomatoes. I generally add salt at this step. It makes cooking an easy process. You may cover it with a lid for about 2 min. Keep sauteeing in between.
- Once tomatoes leave water and are cooked, you may switch off the flame and set it to cool completely. Grind the mixture in a smooth paste.
- Add a fresh tempering of the whole spices, curry leaves mentioned in step 1 to the prepared chutney.
- The tangy and spicy tomato Garlic Chutney is ready. Team your Dosa, Idli or Rice with it!!

Notes
- Always saute the tomatoes on simmer. Slow cooking helps in releasing and better absorption of the flavors.
- For better roasting, you may roast tomatoes and garlic in OTG or oven. Wash, dry and apply some oil and then roast in oven.
- Grinding shall always be done when the mixture has cooled of completely.
- Add little salt when tomatoes are roasted for better cooking.
- Covering with lid helps cook faster.
- For Vegan Chutney, use any oil in place of ghee.
