    Tomato chutney is a common chutney in south Indian breakfast. It is usually served with idly and Dosa as an accomplishment along with Coconut Chutney, Pudina chutney and Sambar. It is so easy to prepare and tastes great with just simple ingredients. We actually have it for our breakfast most of the days.

    Variations in Tomato Chutney

    • Instead of Onions, you can add Shallots or Small Onions for a delicious taste.
    • We can also add 1 tsp of Urad dal or Channa Dal or both. It gives a nutty flavor to the Chutney.

    Serving Suggestions:

    It goes well with all the rice-based flatbreads like Idli, Dosa, Uthappam, Paniyaram. We can also serve it as a dip or spread for Rolls.
