Tomato Chutney-Side Dish For Idly and Dosa

Today's recipe is a simple spicy and tangy chutney,a good accompaniment for idly and dosa which is one of my favorite.The juicy tomatoes are sauteed along with green chillies for spicy and flavored with garlic makes the chutney delicious.
As the weather is cold day by day here,especially since monday it is terrible cold(14 F) not feeling to cook anything special,but the taste buds wanted something spicy and hot.
To satisfy the cravings I made this chutney and enjoyed along with the idly for breakfast.Here goes the recipe....

• The chutney will be in the spicy side as we like to have it spicy with idly.
• Use of green chillies and garlic makes the chutney more flavorful,do not use the red chilly.
• Adding the tamarind is purely optional if the tomatoes are sour enough then no need of it.
