Fresh tomatoes, garlic, dried red chilies, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, oil, jaggery and salt
Heat oil in a pan. Add garlic cloves and dried red chilies. Sauté until garlic turns golden and aromatic.
Add chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cook until the tomatoes soften into a pulpy consistency.
Add cumin seeds, salt and jaggery (optional) for a hint of sweetness. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Let the mixture cool slightly, then blend it into a smooth chunky paste, based on your preference.
Heat a small amount of oil, splutter mustard seeds, and pour this tadka over the chutney for added flavor.
This Tomato Garlic Chutney pairs perfectly with dosa, idli, parathas, pakoras, sandwiches, or as a spread for wraps and burgers as well!
