Quick Tomato Chutney!

When you are in a hurry, it always helps to have some handy dishes that you can whip in minutes. Yes, that refers to our traditional Indian Dosa batter or Idli batter. I have always seen Amma storing this forever. The moment it gets over, she has a fresh batch ready. It also helped that her kids were fond of dosas. Not that mine isn't ok. All 3 of them, even when asked at different periods of the day, would shout out Dosa! It's actually such a relief most of the time. But I do try to give them different things for breakfast.

So, when it comes to our south Indian breakfasts, they always go hand in hand with some dips. And believe me, I can never get tired of eating Coconut chutney or groundnut chutney. But hubby dear desists monotony. So I got to think of some quick tomato chutneys. Both Amma and Athamma have their version of tomato chutneys. So naturally, when I am blending it together, I ought to come up with something in common right!

This quick Tomato Chutney takes just 5 mins! If you don't believe me, then try it yourself and enjoy it. I believe this fits the label of Bachelor cooking as my bachelor colleagues have asked me for ideas and this was one of the few that I shared with them. They were amazed that such a lip smacking dish can be prepared in just 5 mins! You can double the quantities for more.

Remember the Jowar Appayes, well I served it with these quick tomato chutneys.

Makes a cup enough for two people, of course, depends on how much you eat!
