Onion and tomato chutney

This chutney was an accompaniment with the Neer dosa i made. It had to spicy and a lilttle different from the regular coconut chutney, so i made this type of chutney. This can be served with regular dosa or even chapathi/rice as well, even idli's too.


Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 3-4 minutes
Serves: 5-6


Ingredients: 

1. Onions 2 nos
2. Tomatoes 3-4 depending upon the size
3. Green chillies (spicier ones) 7-8 vary the quantity depending upon the spiciness you require
4. Jeera seeds 1tsp
5. Dhania seeds 1tsp
6. Curry leaves a few
7. Oil
8. Grated coconut 1/4 cup
9. Mustard seeds 1tsp
10. Water
12. Tamarind a little (if you're not using the sour tomatoes)

Method:

1. Heat 1tsp of oil in a kadhai and roast onions slit into halves till they turn light brown.
2. Add jeera seeds, dhania seeds and roast.
3. Now add in the tomatoes as well. Saute them for about 2-3 minutes.
4. Cool it and grind to a medium fine paste along with grated coconut, salt, tamarind (if you're not using the sour tomatoes)
5. Heat another teaspoon of oil in kadhai and make seasoning of mustard seeds and curry leaves.
6. Add the ground paste and saute for about 3-4 minutes (just for the flavour). You can omit this step if you want.
7. Serve the chutney with dosa, chapathi, idli or rice.
