Tomato Chutney- Version 2 /Thakkali Chutney/ Tomato Pachadi


We are entering the 3rd week of Blogging Marathon #72 and for this week I chose Dip,Sauce and Spread as theme.

For day1,its a finger licking tomato chutney with coconut and mint.This chutney recipe has been lying in my draft since summer.Last Summer I had lot of home grown tomatoes and relished so many tomato based dishes.

I had this chutney in a friend's place and she paired it with urad dhal vadas.It was so delicious with a perfect  taste.She shared the recipe and made it the next day itself and clicked.The chutney pairs very well with idly,dosa,vada and even can be mixed with rice along with a dash of ghee.Try this yummy and finger licking chutney.

  • This chutney stays good for 2-3 days if it is stored in the refrigerator.
  • Here I didn't use any tamarind as the tomatoes were sour enough.If needed add it along with the tomatoes.
  • Coriander leaves can also be added along with mint leaves.
  • Also a tbs of peanuts can be added along with sesame seeds.
