Notes

  • Make sure you use ripe red tomatoes which are a little sour for best taste.
  • Use gingelly oil for maximum flavour. But any flavourless oil can be used as per your preference.
  • Urad dal can be substituted with chana dal, flax seeds or sesame seeds. Check my variation in tomato chutney below. 
  • Garlic can be added for flavour.
