Tomato Coconut Chutney is made with onion, tomato, coconut, red chilli and coriander leaves, which go well with idli, dosa, paniyaram, uthappam and upma. This is a quick and easy chutney. In addition to the usual coconut chutney or onion chutney, this is a mixture of onion and coconut, although I have added some coriander leaves if you like, and can be replaced with mint leaves.
Heat oil in a pan and add chopped onion.
Fry the onions until light.
Add red chillies and cook for a minute.
Add the chopped tomatoes and fry until the tomatoes are tender.
Now add the grated coconut and cook for a few minutes.
Add the coriander leaves, mix everything well, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool.
Add to the mixing jar, add a little water and grind into a smooth paste.
Heat oil in a pan and add mustard and curry leaves.
Mix the tempering with chutney.
Serve hot with idli or dosa.
