Onion tomato chutney

Onion tomato chutney 

Onion tomato chutney is a famous chutney in Tamilnadu also called takkali chutney it tastes amazing and the tanginess of the chutney matters, there are many variations in making this tomato chutney.

Some people make this chutney with tomato while they won't add onion or garlic

My version of making this chutney is slightly different from the common onion tomato chutney because I have added black urad daal instead of chenna dal, onion, and garlic for spiciness I've added dry red chilies.

Tastes better than the tomato chutney, adding onion gives a mild sweet taste along with the tomato's sour taste which is the best part of onion tomato chutney
