"Kamala" Tomato Chutney (Spicy)

Image
"Kamala" Tomato Chutney In honor of a historic day with Kamala Harris being sworn in as Vice President of the United States, I made this spicy tomato chutney.   It goes well with Idli, Dosa, sandwiches, pancakes, crackers, chips and pretty much anything you want to eat it with.   1 can diced/stewed tomatoes 4 dried red chillies 4 green chillies 2 tsp Urad daal 2 tsp mustard seeds 1 tsp Hing (Asafoetida) 6-7 curry leaves (fresh or dried.  I used dried since that's all I had) 3 tsp coconut oil Salt to taste Chutney base Heat 2 tsp coconut oil.  Add 3 dried red chillies and 1.5 tsp mustard seeds in the hot oil.  Wait 30 secs.  Add 1.5 tsp Urad daal.  Stir till mustard seeds start/finish popping and urad daal is light brown.  Add 1 tsp Hing and half the curry leaves and stir for 10 secs.   Add canned tomatoes, green chillies and salt.  Cook, stirring occassionally, for 20 min on medium-high heat.  Tomatoes should be soft at the end. Blend in a blender/processor into a paste.
