Method:

Take carrot, cauliflower, beans in a microwave safe bowl, add around 1/2 cup of water and cook it covered for 5 mins. 

Heat oil in a kadai. Add in onions, ginger, garlic, green chilli in it and saute for a min.

Add in turmeric powder and saute for 30 sec.

Add in tomatoes and saute for couple of mins.

Now add in the cooked vegetables along with the water and mix well.Add in sugar and mix well.

Increase the heat and cook for a good 10 mins or so. This will evaporate the water and makes the vegetables get more flavour and loses its raw taste.

Allow this to cool a bit, take the vegetables in a mixer and add coriander leaves, tamarind, salt. Now puree this. You can make it little chunky or do it very smooth.

Transfer the chutney to a bowl.

Now make tempering by heating oil and crackling mustard, urad dal, cumin, dry chilli and asafoetida. Once it is crackled pour it over the chutney and mix well.
