No Onion No Garlic Tomato Chutney is an easy chutney made as a side dish for dosas and idlis and is very quick to make. This comes in handy when you are short of onions.
During recent times when the onions prices were soaring high, we decided to make some no onion dishes and one of those dishes was this chutney made for tiffin. This tastes very good and has a good shelf life as well.
This has been in my draft since December and this month's sharing from the draft finally pushed me to share this.
As we have postponed our April Mega BM, we will be sharing the recipes that are from our drafts. With the way things are at home, I am finding it tough to write much though.

Ingredients Used
Tomatoes: Of course, this is tomato chutney, tomatoes are the main ingredients. To give somebody, we have used some lentils like urad dal and chana dal. I have used Bengalore Tomatoes, if you are using Naatu Thakkali, you will have to increase in the red chilis used.
To make it fresh, we have used curry leaves and coriander leaves.
Serving Suggestions
This No Onion No Garlic Tomato Chutney pairs very well with Dosas and Idlis and has a good shelf life.

This is how we make tomato chutney regularly home sans the herbs of course. I sometimes add coriander leaves in another version but never tried curry leaves. Will try this some time.
