Another one authentic recipe from Tamil Nadu. Whenever I prepare this chutney, my mind starts to think about the tri-colour chutneys served at hotels here which semi symbolically represents our national flag(White coconut chutney, Red tomato chutney and Green mint chutney) to my eyes. This combination is quite famous here(across world too) and my stomach fills just by looking them with Idly or Dosa when served hot for breakfasts. All my north Indian friends never foget to ask this chutney whenever they visit our house. They like this chutney a lot. We too. 🙂
There are many variations for the red chutney served and I have blogged one variation with onion here.

Nice clicks.. Use pearl onions for much more better taste.. You can also use urad dhal+ channa dhal or even channa dhal alone (for grinding)..
Thanks Laxmi for your suggestion. I just tried what mom told me. I'll try yours for sure next time. 🙂
This is healthy and good.
