Thakkali Kadayal Recipe | Tomato Chutney | Road Shop Style Thakkali Kadayal

Thakkali Kadayal is one of the simple and easy chutneys which is prepared with the available ingredients in the pantry. This is the typical road shop style chutney that I learned from my hometown roadside shop. This chutney turns out to be so tasty, that you will end up eating so many idli or dosa.

Simple things that should be considered while preparing this chutney is:

• Increase or decrease the spice according to your taste. Also, use only green chilies.
• Do not add garlic. This is served as ginger-flavored tomato chutney.
• Mash chutney with a masher. Do not grind it in the mixer.
• Use juicy red tomatoes (in Tamil we call it naattu thakkali).
