Tomato is one fruit that is present in almost all dishes around the world. I love tomatoes, raw cooked, and pureed in all shapes and forms. This spicy tomato chutney is made with tomatoes, dried chili, and garlic. It tastes amazing with raw veggies, and semolina cakes (idlis), you can even add it to your wrap or rice bowl for that spicy kick. It can be stored for up to 1 week in the refrigerator to be consumed over the week. If you prefer a little less spicy you can adjust the taste by adding more sugar(if needed).
Enjoy this recipe with Semolina cakes for a delicious breakfast or an evening snack!
