  1. I tasted this chutney first time in my in laws house and fell in love with it…. After we came here I used to make my mothers version… But wanted to try my in laws version and told my hubby and actually he prepared that chutney for me that day….. I will never forget it…. Now it has become a regular part in our breakfast….

  2. I love this chutney with anything!!! I dont add pottukadalai for tomato onion chutney..it will surely give some body to the dish! will def add some when i next try! nice recipe, jey! lovely clicks!!

  3. I tried this one…And it was a instant hit especially with my 10 month old baby. She loves Dosa with this chutney and I love the fat that I don't have to worry about making Sambhar when a cranky kid is around 🙂

  5. Hi Jeyashri, I made this chutney recently with paniyaram for a get together with school moms. I put less chilli because they are of different nationalities and eat less spicy food. Everybody loved it and asked me for the recipe; so I shared your link. Thanks:)
