• Heat remaining oil in the same pan and addchopped tomatoesand fry them until they turn pulpy. This might take some 4-5 mins. Add soft tamarind at the end and mix well, if you are using tamarind pulp add it while grinding. Coolit a bit.

• Grind roasted garlic, green chillies and cumin seeds with salt to a coarse paste.

• Addcooked mushy tomatoes, sugar(jaggery)and tamarind pulp and grind it to a smooth or chunky chutney according to your preference. Add little water if required while grinding. Remove the chutney to a bowl.

• In the same pan heat 1 tbsp. ghee/oil and crackle mustard seeds and add urad dal, curry leaves and asafoetidaand fry for some time and add this tempering to the chutney and mix well.

Notes:

1. You can add1 roughly chopped onion and fry along withtomatoes and grind together to make tomato-onion chutney.

2. You can grind this chutney smooth or slightly chunky according to your preference.

3. You can even add 1/2 cup- 3/4 cup of coriander leaves when you are frying tomatoes, it adds a nice flavour to the chutney.

4. In case if you do not like smooth chutney you can also roast 2 tsp urad dal along with cumin seeds and grind it first before adding tomatoes, this adds some body to the chutney and also makes the texture different.

5. As the tomatoes add sourness it is important to add some sugar or jaggery to balance the taste. If you like it sour you can avoid adding sugar.

6. Green chillies can be replaced with red chillies in the recipe.
