Andhra Style Tomato Chutney is a tangy and spicy condiment that adds a burst of flavor to your meals. Here's a recipe for Andhra Style Tomato Chutney:

Ingredients:

4 medium-sized tomatoes

1 small onion, finely chopped

3-4 dry red chilies

1 tablespoon chana dal (split Bengal gram)

1 tablespoon urad dal (split black gram)

1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

A pinch of asafoetida (hing)

5-6 curry leaves

2 tablespoons oil

Salt to taste

For tempering:

1 tablespoon oil

1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds

A pinch of asafoetida (hing)

Instructions:

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chana dal, urad dal, dry red chilies, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and asafoetida. Sauté until the dals turn golden brown and the spices become fragrant.

Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until the onion turns translucent.

Now, add the tomatoes and curry leaves to the pan. Cook until the tomatoes become soft and mushy. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Once the tomatoes are cooked, turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool down.

Transfer the cooled mixture to a blender or food processor. Add salt to taste. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency.

In a separate small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil for tempering. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) and turn off the heat.

Pour the tempering over the tomato chutney and mix well.

Andhra Style Tomato Chutney is ready to serve. You can enjoy it with dosas, idlis, rice, or as a spread for sandwiches.
