Onion tomato garlic chutney recipe

Onion tomato garlic chutney is very different in terms of flavour and texture. The flavor and spiciness is just right to go with idli dosa.

Yesterday my MIL was telling about this chutney and sounded great. Today I had idli for breakfast in the menu. So I thought I will make it today itself. I was expecting a different flavour but then realized it was similar to onion tomato chutney except for the garlic and the ratio. Yet it was a very good change and it was delicious too. The taste is different even if its a one ingredient change.

I ground it smooth, but you can grind coarsely for a different flavour and taste. Also I sauteed very well, but slight sauteeing is enough. I was all of a sudden thinking it is same onion tomato chutney, why I thought it was different to try, I don’t know. But after I ground, it was a good change from the usual ones.
