Tomato onion chutney is my favorite among all chutneys. I call it red chutney. I never get bored of it. Easy to prepare and tastes yummy with many dishes.

Ever since childhood days Thakkali vengaya chutney is my favorite. Extra idli/dosai will go if Amma preapres this chuntey. Usually Amma saute onion then tomato; let it cool and grind it but this version is my neighbour aunty recipe.

Aunty call it “Sammandhi Chutney”. One day when talking with Amma she told that idli and tomato chutney is for breakfast. Amma told her that I like tomato chutney. Immediately she gave me one box. I enjoyed that chuney and loved the bright red color. Amma asked her how she prepared it and she gave this recipe.

Good thing about this chutney is no continuous stirring, grind everything together and boil.  When I posted this recipe I use to prepare this way. 

Tomato onion chutney stays good 2-3 days. You can prepare it during weekend and use it during the week which makes it simple for busy morning.
