Notes:
- Gingelly oil is very good for health and it also enhances the taste
- You can roughly cut the onion and tomatoes as we are going to fry and grind
- Red chillies – You can add more if you prefer more spicy
- Tamarind – It is an optional one. But i prefer to add little. It will give more sour taste.
- For one big onion, 2 big tomatoes or 3 medium size tomatoes
- Avoid adding more water to grind. Very little or no water should be fine
- Storage: I would prefer using it as fresh only. If we refrigerate the freshness of this chutney will be little missing. So, I will always make very little as need. If you refrigerate, that’s fine. But not more than 1 day.
- We can add more ingredients like ginger, coconut, mint, coriander leaves to this chutney and change the flavor; Will add quick video on the variation.
Enjoy and let me know your experience 🙂
