Tomato garlic chutney / thakkali poondu chutney / poondu chutney

Tomato garlic chutney recipe with step by step pictures 


               Tomato garlic chutney is a tangy flavourful tasty sidedish for idli,  dosas as well as chapathi.  I like to add garlic more in my cooking as garlic has more healthy facts.  I like to make Tomato chutney,  which is similar to this chutney without garlic.  But my MIL insists me to add garlic in it and when i tried it i just loved the flavour of garlic so much.  Give it a try and sure you like it very much.  It is very easy to cook recipe.  You can make it within  10 - 15 mins.
