This version I tasted long back at a birthday party and tried at home assuming the ingredients, but to my surprise the onion tomato chutney (without coconut) came out well and it tasted almost the same . Two days back I made this for dosa and my little one who doesn’t eat chutneys, enjoyed this a lot. This is similar to the basic kara chutney recipe, but the roasted gram | pottukadalai gives an extra taste to the chutney.
Check out my full collection of chutney recipes.
Method:
Chop the onion and tomato finely and peel the skin of the garlic. Add oil to a pan add the red chili, tamarind, and garlic, and roast them on a medium flame.
Now add the onions and saute till they turn slightly brown. Cook on a medium flame. Add salt to this while cooking to ensure even and fast cooking.
Now add the tomatoes to this. Cook till the tomatoes become mushy.
Add roasted gram to this and switch off the flame.
Grind this into a smooth paste adding a little water.
Check for salt and temper with mustard seeds and curry leaves.
Dilute this by adding a little water to reach your desired consistency. Serve with idli or dosa.
Note:
Instead of Roasted gram, urad dal or channa dal can be added. If using any of these dals, roast them nicely till golden brown and keep them aside. A few tbsps of shredded coconut can be added while grinding the onion tomato chutney.
