Tomato Chutney

I should say this is a chutney which works just fine for the last minute cravings. Takes extremely small amount of time and hardly any chopping of vegetables.

(Serves 4)
Needed

1. Tomatoes - 3
2. Greeen chillies - 4
3. Red chillies - 2
4. Turmeric - a pinch
5. Salt - 1 tablespoon or as needed.
6. Sugar - 1 tablespoon
7. Coriander - 1/2 bunch
8. Oil - 1 tea spoon
9. Urad Dal - 1 tea spoon
10. Chana dal - 1 tea spoon
11. Lemon juice - 1/2 lemon squeezed

Method 

1. Heat the oil in a sauce pan.
2. Add chana dal and urad dal, let them fry for half a minute.
3. Add green chillies, tomatoes and fry them till the tomatoes get half cooked.
4. Add turmeric and fry for a minute.
5. Once cooked add the mixture to the grinder.
6. Put coriander, salt, sugar to the mixture and grind to a coarse paste.
7. Add lemon juice to the mixture and serve.

This has been one of my favorite chutneys. Apart from satiating your taste buds with the tangy taste, it provides an antioxidant called "Lycopene". When tomatoes are heat processed, the bioavailability of Lycopene actually increases rather than the anticipated decrease. Two bucks and one arrow , isn't it !!
