One of the best recipes, in my opinion, is one that is SO easy, with barely any ingredients and you have no excuse to not make it. This onion tomato chutney is just that! A south Indian side dish that is usually accompanied as a dip with dosa or idli (rice based dishes) or Paniyaram.
I grew up surrounded by south Indian foods. Various varieties of chutney were a staple in my diet. This is the fairly easy, fool-proof variety that I know I can never mess up (and neither can you). Since I want more and more people to try out quick and easy Indian dishes (other than naan and daal). I would suggest you give this one a go.
I mean it ONLY involves like 5 ingredients:
namely,
– Onions
– Tomato
– Turmeric powder
– Salt
– Bunch of coriander leaves
and Dried red chilli if you are into hot stuff (no pun, I swear!)
So my memory attached to this recipe goes back to my childhood. When my mother felt uninspired to make an accompaniment for dosa, idli or chapati/roti (Indian flatbread), this onion tomato chutney is what she ended up making. It always worked because her family (my father, me, my brother) always loved this. This chutney was always a hit.
Nowadays, I find myself going back to this recipe again and again because adulting is hard 😛 and this chutney makes it a little easier.
This onion tomato chutney is super simple to make, I mean you can check out my instagram reel right here! (Super impressive juggling skills aside)
The onion gives it almost a sweet touch and makes this a salty sweet dip that goes with everything. The tomato balances out the sweetness and provides it the umami flavour we are alwasy looking for. Are we getting a bit fancy here?
