Flavorful chutney is ready ! I served it hot with Ragi Idli.
 
 Notes :-
-----------
# I did not add water for grinding. The tomatoes had enough moisture needed, to grind the chutney.
#This simple chutney does not need seasoning. But you can very well do if you prefer. 
# Use shallots (small onions) for the best taste.
