Tomato Chutney

I had tasted the tomato chutney for the first time at Meenakshi Temple and since then I was craving for it. I was lucky to get a chance again to relish this chutney during a visit to my friends place where her mom had prepared it and it was amazing. This time I made sure that I had the recipe written down. Thanks to Kavitha's mom and Kavitha for this wonderful dish.
