Amma's Tomato Chutney


Tomato chutney is my Amma's famous recipe.. It is spicy tangy made from tomatoes.. Chutneys are common made in every indian home. Amma make many varities of chutney but my dad and my sister like this tomato chutney.. They often told my mom to make this chutney for idlies...



It is such a verity inspired from south indian cuisine.. Apart from the tangy taste of tomatoes, there is a special distinct warm aromatic flavour of sambar powder which gives superb taste to the chutney...
