Tasty chutney for idli or dosa
Cut the tomatoes and onions into pieces, not necessarily chopping into fine pieces
Take the oil in a kadai. Add the urad dal and chana dal and fry.
Once it changes colour add the chillies, (if adding curry leaves, add them along with chillies) and fry for a minute.
Transfer the content to a bowl (leaving the excess oil in the kadai itself)and keep it aside
In the same kadai add the onions, ginger, and garlic and fry for 4 to 5 minutes(until the onion becomes soft)
Add the tomatoes and fry until it is cooked well. Transfer the content to a plate and let it cool.
Grind this content and the fried chillies(& curry leaves) in a mixie jar once it has become cool, adding some water to it. Add the fried dal to this and grind again to the chutney consistency.
Take the oil in a small kadai and heat it. Add mustard seeds. Once it splutters, add urad dal, curry leaves and asafoetida. Add it with the chutney and mix well.
Adding a handful of curry leaves along with the red chillies while frying will enhance the taste of the chutney!
