Tomato Mint Chutney (Thakkali Pudina Chutney) is a super quick chutney for idli/dosa. Though Idli/Dosa Podi is a compulsory accompaniment in my family, they do not say no to this tomato mint chutney. This is a no coconut version. Do my full chutney collection HERE
This is Chotu’s favourite. All he wants is either Sambar or this Chutney. 🙂
Now to the recipe.
Tomato Mint Chutney Ingredients:
- Onion – 1 no
- Tomato – 3 nos
- Mint Leaves – 1 fistful
- Dry Chilly – 3 or 4
- Urid Dal – 1 tbsp
- Mustard – 1 tsp
- Oil – 1tbsp + 1 tbsp
- Salt – as needed
Method:
- Heat pan with oil and roast the red chillies & keep aside. Next roast the urid dal till they are light brown. Keep this aside. Finally in the same pan saute onions for a few mins, followed by tomatoes. When they are mushy add mint leaves, stir and switch off the flame. Let it cool.
- Once it cools grind all the roasted ingredients except urid dal into a paste. Finally add urid dal and grind in pulse mode just once or twice so that we get a coarse textured chutney. Heat pan with oil and temper with mustard seeds. Add the tomato mint chutney to this and boil for a min or two.
That’s it. Yummy tomato chutney is ready. Serve it with steaming hot idli or dosa.
My favourite is with fluffy, spongy dosa.
Tips:
- You can add garlic along with chopped onions and saute.
- You can add coriander leaves too, but I prefer to keep the mint flavour separate.
