Cool it completely and transfer everything to the mixer. Add needed water to the mixer and grind it to fine paste.


Heat oil in a kadai, splutter the mustard seeds. Now add the cumin seeds, urad dal, curry leaves and saute it for 20 sec. Switch off the stove and add the tempering to the chutney.

Suggestions:
Tempering is not required, but gives a wonderful taste when the chutney is tempered.
 If the tomatoes are not sour enough you can add one small piece of tamarind when grinding the chutney.
