Tomato Onion Chutney
(5 votes, average: 4.6 out of 5) 
Loading ...A favorite accompaniment with dosa’s, idli’s, upma’s, a sandwich spread and anything you want to experiment it with. The sweet nature of the small onions enhances the taste of the chutney. If small onions are not available, regular red onions can be used. The sesame oil used for seasoning and sautéing enhances the flavor as well. In case you don’t stock sesame oil, any vegetable or sunflower oil can be used.

Hi … thanks for visiting my website. I made this chutney with moong dal chillas - both tasted great and my hubby who is a gourmet loved it. The only hassle was getting perfect round chillas - maybe i got the consistency wrong. I am sure I will get them right with practice. We had a tasty non-to-so-regular dinner last nite. thank you!
glad to know it turned out well :). Yea,getting the chilla’s round and thin is just practice. Also the pan should not be over heated, then they start to separate and form lumps. Next time around, while spreading the chilla’s try keeping them on low heat and they will come out well!
