There is something special about pairing crispy and savoury dosa with a side of tangy tomato chutney. This Sout Indian delicacy not only satisfies the taste buds but also provides a burst of flavours. Here’s how you can make tomato chutney to accompany dosa.
4 ripe tomatoes, chopped 1 onion, finely chopped 2-3 dry red chilies 3-4 garlic cloves 1-inch ginger, chopped 1 tablespoon oil 1 teaspoon mustard seeds 1 teaspoon urad dal (split black gram) A pinch of asafoetida (hing) Salt to taste 1 tablespoon tamarind paste Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. Once they splutter, add urad dal and sauté until golden brown.
Add dry red chillies, chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Saute until onions turn translucent. Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn soft and mushy.
Now, add salt to taste, tamarind paste and a pinch of asafoetida. Mix well and cook for a few minutes.
Allow the mixture to cool down slightly and transfer it to a blender and blend into a smooth paste. Transfer the chutney back to the pan and simmer for a couple of minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
