Preparation Steps

Sauté the Ingredients: Begin by heating a kadai (a deep frying pan) over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped tomatoes, curry leaves, and green chillies. Sprinkle in the turmeric powder and salt. Sauté the mixture for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes become mushy and the raw aroma dissipates.

Cool and Blend: After cooking, remove the kadai from heat and allow the mixture to cool down to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a blender or mixer. Blend it into a smooth paste, adjusting the consistency with a little water if necessary.

Adjust Seasoning: Taste the chutney and add sugar to balance the flavors, along with any additional salt if needed.

Serve: Your Tomato Curry Leaf Chutney is now ready to be served! Enjoy it alongside Rajgira Paneer Paratha for a delicious breakfast, or use it as a condiment with any of your favorite South Indian dishes.
