Tomato Chutney Recipe | Thakkali Chutney | No Coconut Chutney For Dosa And Idli

 


Thakkali Chutney | No Coconut Chutney | Tomato Chutney is a variation of South Indian no coconut Chutney. This dish is a typical TamilNadu cuisine, but I used to make for breakfasts especially when I feel tired. It is very easy to prepare and needs only handful of ingredients which is I always stock in my pantry.  So friends, today, I am sharing one of my favorite South Indian no coconut chutney.

    Tomato Chutney - About

    Tomato chutney is also called thakkali chamanthi in South India. Thakkali is the word for tomato in Malayalam and Tamil.  It can be called as an example for South Indian no coconut chutney for idli and dosa.  

    Thakkali chammanthi preparation is quite simple and quick. Its main ingredients are tomato, onion, chilies, asafoetida, etc. It tastes spicy as well as tangy and I feel the taste of tomato chutney lies somewhere between a sambar and a chutney. Make it in semi-thick consistency. 

    Tomato chutney will be ready in less than ten minutes, but it has two steps of preparation. First the sautéing or cooking ingredients and the second tempering. Normally, we use coconut oil to temper the chutney but if you hate the coconut oil smell, then you can go with any other oil you are familiar with.



    Tomato chutney - Expert's Tips


    1. Use ripe tomatoes for making the chutney. The quality of the tomatoes will affect the taste and color. If you are looking for bright red colored chutney, then use ripe red tomatoes.
    2. If you want to replace the whole chilies with chili powder, you can use that, but add after sautéing the onion. Otherwise it will burn and leave a blackish color and taste.
    3. While grinding the chutney, either use big jar or wait till the ingredients comes to room temperature.  
    4. For tempering, I used coconut oil. It is necessary, if you want to get the authentic taste and smell. 
    5. Add salt to balance its taste, but never use sugar in this chutney.
