Onion tomato chutney recipe with attractive red colour, that we call it as red chutney. One of the south Indian chutney which is served as part of breakfast like idli dosa.
Why easy Onion Tomato Chutney ? Yes it's easy for me. I already posted my MIL’s version of Onion tomato chutney recipe that she makes for so many years and I just love it too. It has lots of frying part like chana dal, red chilli and onion, tomato. Also it has coconut.
So this one is so simple with only 3 main ingredients ~ Onion, tomato and red chilli powder. Isn’t it cool? I had got few requests to post red chutney recipe for idli dosa. This is Aj’s most favourite chutney. Perfect with dosa varieties. It's one of those kind they serve in restaurants along with the white and green chutneys. Refer coconut chutney - for white and mint chutney and coriander chutney for green chutneys.

Easy onion tomato chutney recipe
Ingredients
- 2 Onion small sized
- 2 Tomato small sized
- 1 teaspoon Red chilli powder
- Salt
To temper
- 2 teaspoon Oil
- ½ teaspoon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Urad dal
- 1 sprig Curry leaves
Instructions
- Chop onion and tomato into cubes. Grind to a smooth paste without water.
- Heat a kadai with oil and temper with the items given under ‘To temper’ table in order. Pour the ground paste and add ¼ cup water, red chilli powder and salt. Mix well.
- Cook in medium flame for 4-5 mins or until the chutney gets the desired consistency. It should not get too thick. Should be similar to the other chutney consistency. So adjust water accordingly.
Notes
- Adjust the chilli powder according to the tanginess of tomatoes.
- I used small sized tomato and onion so used 2 each.
- Used kashmiri red chilli powder. Its the best to give bright red colour.
- You can add a pinch of sugar for a different taste.
- Use asafoetida powder while tempering if you like.

The easiest chutney! and it tastes great, too. I was skeptical of the title until I clicked and read through the step by step - love it! I made this in no time for hubby's lunch box and I had the leftovers for breakfast. Spicy and fabulous!
