Boiled tomato chutney recipe – Simple tomato chutney recipe

Boiled tomato chutney recipe
Boiled tomato chutney is an easy, simple chutney recipe for idli, dosa. Its a new recipe to me. As an ardent fan of tomato I keep trying some interesting recipes with it. Recently I came across this boiled tomato chutney recipe (Vendha thakkali chutney) / cooked tomato chutney in my Instagram feed by Mullai (spiceindiaonline). I checked few more versions and tried this recipe from Cookatease. It can be prepared easily in a pressure cooker. 

All you need to do is to just pressure cook onion, tomato, chilli and garlic. Mash or grind it. Boil and temper. It takes less oil. You can also make it as a no grind version by just mashing the cooked tomato onion mixture. But If you don’t boil the chutney, it may smell raw due to cooked green chillies. So boiling the chutney is mandatory. 

Even though its my first attempt, it came out so well. I loved it with hot idli more than dosa. If you like, you can make it thick and have it with chapathi too.  It reminded my mom’s tomato sambar recipe. This chutney tastes great when drizzled with sesame oil / Nalla ennai. Tomato chutney can be prepared in N number of ways. 

This is one easy method of making it. Friends, if you are bored of your regular tomato chutney recipe, you can try this boiled version. You will like it for sure. Ok, lets see how to make easy and simple boiled tomato chutney recipe with step by step pictures.

  • Do not grind the tomato, onion when hot. It will splash everywhere. So cool down the mixture completely before grinding. In case you are mashing the tomato, you cam do it when hot. So you can either grind the mixture or mash it with a ladle. Its your choice. I ground the tomato to a smooth paste. You can grind it coarsely if you like.
