Chutney is an important side in the South Indian tiffin varieties. I prepare different kinds of tomato chutneys and this recipe using whole tomatoes is unique and one of my favorites.
Spicy Tomato Garlic Chutney is prepared by grinding roasted whole tomatoes with garlic and red chillies. The dominant flavor of garlic with the whole tomatoes adds a special taste to the chutney.
