Goes Best With
EASY ONION AND TOMATO CHUTNEY
3 tomatoes, chopped into medium-sized pieces
2 onions, chopped into medium-sized pieces
4 red chillies
1 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves
Oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
½ tsp urad dal
Curry leaves - few tender ones
Heat 2 tsp of oil in a pan, sauté the chillies for a few seconds and remove them from pan. In the same pan, add the onions and sauté until they turn transparent. Add the tomatoes, coriander leaves and cook until tomatoes become slightly soft – you don’t have to cook them fully. Allow the mixture to cool. Once it cools, grind it with the red chillies, (not too smoothly) and season with salt.
Heat 1 tbsp of oil and add the mustard seeds. When it splutters, add the urad dal and curry leaves. When the urad dal turns golden brown, add the ground chutney and cook until the oil separates.
Something
to drink?
A curry like this calls for a delicious, crisp chardonnay. Although, if you’re feeling bit posh, why not opt for a nice bottle of champagne?
