Mint Tomato Chutney

I seriously did not get any time to post leisurely as I usually do and hence this entry. This is a quick chutney that I came across sometime back and is a instant success within my family and friends.

The ingredients are easy to find and voila there you have it!! A quick fix to "what should I be having with chapati or rice". Since it goes well with both.

Not to mention that you can use it as a dip for any of your veg or non-veg starters. So much for its introduction.

Now for the ingredients:

1 tbsp til white (dry roasted)

1 bunch of mint leaves

8-10 garlic pods

1-2 red chillies

Salt

Jeera (2 tsp)

Tomatoes (2- Medium sized)

A marble sized ball of tamarind or equal amount of Yogurt

Oil (1 tsp)

Method:

Heat oil in a wok. Add the jeera and once it splutters add the garlic pods and the Red chillies. Fry for some time.

Now add the washed,chopped mint leaves. Fry till they wilt. Add the tamarind into this and fry for some time.

Once done add the tomatoes and fry till they are cooked. That will take a few minutes. At this point in time you may add some salt. It is always advisable to add some more later after tasting the chutney.

Now let this mixture cool.In the meanwhile grind the dry roasted til into a fine powder.

Add the cooled mixture and pulse for a couple of minutes. Your Tomato mint chutney is ready
