A spicy, tangy and flavourful tomato chutney for Idli, Dosa, Paniyaram, Adai and Uthappam. It's very quick and easy to make. This chutney can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. If you want more spicy, increase the number of red chillies.
Adjust chillies and tamarind according to your taste. Even you can use this chutney as a spread for sandwiches. Also, make a filling for sandwiches by mashing the boiled potatoes and mix up this chutney. I tried it. It tasted very yummy...
