Hi Supermoms, I had shared with you all that I had made a Spicy Instant Tomato Chutney - Thakkali Kuzhambu as a side dish for any tiffin. A quick and easy side dish for Instant Dosai/Idli /Upma or even Chapathi.
Takes less than 5 minutes of preparation time and 10 minutes of cooking time. All you need is fresh tomatoes.
A simple and handy recipe !

1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds(you can also use sesame seeds, flax seeds, melon seeds, cumin seeds)

3. Heat oil in a medium size pan or wok and add all the ingredients given under ' for tempering'.
4. Once the seeds splutter, add the tomato mixture. You can add water ( 1/4 cup , optional).
5. Add salt and let the mixture cook for 7-9 minutes or till the time the tomatoes change colour and the oil separates on the side of the pan.
