This chutney is a very simple one......in my family circles, it is called "Chingwing chutney".....don't know why...it was named so by my cute little 6 year old niece, when I got married...and from thence, the same name continues.......we all never call it tomato - onion chutney...but everybody calls it "Chingwing"!!!
Such lovely, ripe and firm tomatoes are available here and how can I not make this yum yum chutney??
This was made and served with Ragi - whole wheat dosas.
Keep on medium fire, and saute till the tomatoes become mushy.

Prep time: 10 mts; Cooking time: 15 mts

Heat a pan, add oil and season the ingredients mentioned above
Add green chillies and chopped onions......
and now, the tomatoes.....
Add chilli powder, sambar powder and salt
Add the chopped cilantro / coriander leaves too after mixing well.
Keep on medium fire, and saute till the tomatoes become mushy.
Allow to cool down, then blend in a hand blender. Care must be taken not to blend it to a smooth chutney. It must be a coarse one, with some small bits of tomatoes and onions. Few years back, I used to mash it in a clay pot with a wooden thick ladle.(called "mathu" in tamil)
