Tomato Chutney- Tangy tomato and lentil dip specially to serve with Idli and Dosa

Tomato Chutney- Chutney and dips have a special place in Indian cuisine, different types of chutneys are made to serve along with snacks and meals. I love to make different varieties of chutneys with greens, fruits and vegetables. The most popular chutney at my place is – Pineapple and bell peppers chutney which I usually serve with crispy snacks.

The brightly colored and healthy fruity dip of  – Kiwi and mint chutney is best when ever you have to finish the sour kiwis or to serve something tangy and fresh.

When ever we make south Indian snacks we usually make coconut chutney, but tomato chutney is also a  popular tangy and easy accompaniment to serve with soft idlis and dosas. It is easy to make and stays well for a fortnight if kept refrigerated. The roasted lentils give a nice nutty flavour and texture to this tomato chutney.

Do try these fruity chutney recipe-

  • Amrood ki chutney
  • Pineapple pepper Chutney
  • Sweet Chili Chutney
