Red Chutney (Onion-Tomato Chutney) - A spicy lip smacking chutney recipe with the goodness of vegetables.

Ingredients- 
1 onion
2 tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
3-4 red chillies

1 spoon bengal gram (chana dal)
A very small piece of tamarind and jaggery
Salt
2-3 spoon sesame oil/sunflower oil
1/2 spoon mustard seeds

Tip - If you have shallots then replace the regular onion with 10-15 shallots and try to use sesame oil instead of sunflower oil if you want to enjoy the best version of this chutney.

Method -
1. Dry roast bengal gram (chana dal), red chilly and urad dal till it becomes slightly golden brown and then keep it aside.

2. Roughly chop the onion and tomatoes.

3. Now add 1 spoon of sesame oil/sunflower oil and saute garlic and onion till it becomes slight golden brown and then add tomatoes and saute it till it becomes mushy and allow the vegetables to cool down completely.

4. Now add the roasted chana dal, urad dal, red chillies, sauteed onion, tomato and garlic mixture, tamarind, jaggery, 1/2 cup water and salt and grind the mixture into a smooth paste and transfer the chutney into a bowl. 

5. Now take a tadka pan, pour 2-3 spoon of sesame oil/sunflower oil. Once the oil is hot add mustard seeds and allow the seeds to splutter, now add 3-4 curry leaves and pour the tempering into the chutney and give it a good mix.
