TOMATO ONION THOKKU I SIDE DISH FOR IDLI - DOSA - CHAPATHI I INSTANT CHUTNEY

Chutney or thokku is must in every home for their breakfast. South Indian has vast collections of chutneys for idli or dosa. Last week, I watched one cookery show by Chef. Venkatesh Batt. He prepared neer dosa and tomato onion thokku/chutney. My dad asked my mom to prepare those for next day breakfast. So the next day my mom has prepared everything and I just clicked and posting here J

The tomato and onion must be fantastic combination and the taste also superb with tangy of tomato and flavor of onion. It goes well with neer dosa (recipe soon) and suits for idli and dosa… Check out my other chutney recipes here...
