RECIPE FOR TOMATO CHUTNEY FOR DOSA WITH STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS AND PICTURES.
Tomato Chutney is similar to Tomato Coconut Chutney which has fewer ingredients. It takes only 30 minutes to prepare. This is a time-saving chutney recipe and goes amazing with Idly, dosa and appam. It contains only tomatoes, red chillies and shallots. This chutney is a combination of sour and sweet with a smooth texture. You can either make them thin or thick as per your wish.

I often make this recipe for tomato chutney for dosa at my home since I and my husband are fond of this chutney. You can also add coconut along with this but I mostly skip coconuts. This is a simple recipe that can be prepared even by beginners. Hence try this recipe and let me know how it turned out for you.
