Tomato Chutney

தக்காளி சட்னி (Tomato Chutney with Coconut)

Tomato Chutney can be prepared with or without coconut. This version is using coconut. Since we are using coconut, the flavor is different that kids will love to have. My kids always likes this chutney prepared with coconut only. Here is the recipe!

Tomato – 4
Shallots/ small onion- 6
Dry red chilli – 4
Curry leaves – 1 spring

Notes

You can replace the small onion with big onion.
You can use any type of onion except sweet onion for this recipe as it will spoil the taste.
If you want more tomato flavor reduce the coconut amount into half.
