Tangy tomato chutney – Delicious ,easy tomato chutney/ thokku -South Indian Style

Tangy Tomato Chutney- Chutneys are an integral part of Indian cuisine. An Indian thali is incomplete without some chutney or pickle.Their are so many types of chutneys some are raw, some are cooked, made with herbs, fruits and with vegetables.

Tangy tomato chutney is very popular in North Indian and South Indian cuisine.This tomato thokku is my favorite as it have a fresh taste of tomato and the roasted methi seed powder gives it a nice taste.

This tangy tomato chutney is quite a simple and easy recipe which pairs well with idli,dosa,poori ,chapati, breads or any fried snack. This tomato thokku stays well for a month in the refrigerator
