An authentic Indian specialty cooked with freshly ground roasted spices, caramelised onions, and aromatic herbs in the traditional style.
Heat 1 tbsp oil, fry the dried red chilies and garlic until aromatic, then add the tomatoes and cook until soft and mushy.
Cool the mixture and blend with the salt into a coarse chutney.
Heat the remaining oil, pop the mustard seeds and urad dal, then add the curry leaves and asafoetida.
Pour the sizzling tempering over the chutney, mix well, and serve with idli or dosa.
