Tomato Chutney is my utmost favorite of all chutneys! Every family has its own version of making and I enjoy making my mom’s style which is simple to make, includes onion fresh ginger garlic and most of all easy peasy with no grinding involved. Many many lunch box memories pop up, as this used to be packed at least twice a week with either idli or chapati!
