Tomato ginger chutney

I learnt this tomato ginger chutney recipe (thakkali inji chutney in Tami) from my lovable sister Radha. Bascially I love to try different side dish for idli, dosa everytime. Being a South Indian, most of the days, our breakfast would be either idli or dosa. So I keep thinking and searching for varieties of side dishes and that too I pay special attention to tomato chutney recipes because tomato is my most favourite vegetable. 

I love anything based on tomatoes. My dad had told many times about this tomato chutney with ginger flavor and it tempted me to try.We loved its flavour a lot. As tomato prices have crashed, I bought 2 kgs last week and I tried some yummy, interesting recipes with it. So this week, I have planned to post them one by one 🙂 Stay tuned !
