TOMATO CHILLI GARLIC CHUTNEY 

Ingredients :

Tomato - 2 large ( weighing approximately 400 gm)

Garlic - 6 pods

Red chilli - 10 ( if your chilli variety is too hot reduce the amount but this chutney is spicy one)

Tamarind pulp -  1/2 tbsp ( Diluted pulp , not thick.  Reduce or increase the sourness accordingly since my tomatoes are not very sour I add  1/2 tbsp)

For Tempering :

Mustard seeds - 1 tsp

Curry leaves - few

Saunf - 1/4 tsp (optional)

Gingelly oil - 2 1/2  tbsp 

Salt as needed

Method :

1. Heat little oil in a pan add the  red chillies and saute till they are slightly roasted. Remove and keep it aside.

2.  Add little oil again and  saute garlic and tomato with salt, fry till they become mushy. Once it is cooled.

3. Grind everything except the tempering ingredients.

4. When you blend  first powder the roasted red chillies then add tomato garlic mixture along with tamarind and salt. The chutney should not be like fine paste.  Grind coarsely.
