My daughter is a big fan of this Onion Tomato Chutney. She calls it orange chutney because of its color. She doesn’t like coconut chutney that much. Whenever I make idli or crispy dosa, she would request for this chutney only. If this chutney is made, I don’t have to prepare sambar or coconut chutney additionally at home. This chutney goes well with Soft Idli, dosa, uthappam, paniyaram and even tastes great with Roti. Let us now see how to prepare this Onion Tomato Chutney.
