Tomato Chutney | Thakkalli Thokku

Tomato Thokku/Chutney is one of the most delicious cutney we can make at home and very simple and easy to make. This can be transformed into many dishes like Tomato Rice or base sauce for Pizza and many other. It can be used as a spread to any paratha or bread.
Tomato Thokku can also be served with any appetizer, Idly or Dosa. It is the the best chutney to take to any travel since the shelf life is longer. Whenever we go for travel either by car or air, I pack some chutney and roti's or idly in hand, spread and roll them and munch them.
Today for the Blogging Marathon i chose the theme- One sauce and two dishes. I thought this will be a good match for the sauce and two dishes will be posted in the next two days.

Here goes the recipe:
