Onion Tomato Chutney

Onion Tomato Chutney is my best liked dish at home compared to all other chutneys prepared. Like most south indian recipes, this is a hot and spicy tomato and onion chutney. You can increase or decrease the Onions and Tomatoes in this chutney as per taste. I like this chutney a little sweet and prefer to add onions a little more. I bet my friends this chutney will be a star at your dining table. Good Day to all :)
