Tomato Chutney is one of my personal favorites to have with a piping hot, melt in the mouth, Idlis. This Tomato Chutney is a play of the tanginess from the tomatoes and sweetness from the jaggery. The lentils give it a nice body and texture. Although this Tomato Chutney takes longer than Coconut Chutney, it is completely worth the wait!
