Onion tomato ginger chutney recipe

Onion tomato ginger chutney

Onion tomato chutney with ginger and dry coriander seeds flavour. I have added tamarind for extra tangy chutney that goes well with idli, dosa. Full video, step by step preparation.
I somewhat do not like coriander seeds smell in certain recipes, like I have mentioned in capsicum rice and one more recipe is this chutney. But my recent visit to a restaurant changed my liking towards the combination of ginger and coriander in this onion tomato chutney. I have tasted this chutney several times when my mami made and used to not like much. I even request her not to add ginger in onion tomato chutney. Aj and Vj too not big fan of this ginger onion tomato chutney.

But when I tasted this chutney at Hotel Arya Nivas (near Vizhuppuram NH45), what I could taste was a dominating tanginess from tamarind, yet spicy and subtle ginger, coriander seeds flavour.
After coming back, I kept thinking about that chutney and wanted to make it for breakfast. Though my chutney didn’t had that spike of tanginess and spice, I am sure we can alter the quantity to bring the exact taste. But it was really yummy for a change from the regular onion tomato chutney. Some dishes, if we prepare on our own, changes our taste towards it and makes us like even if we used to not like it.
