there are several ways to prepare this spicy and tangy dark red coloured onion tomato chutney recipe. one such variation is to prepare with just onion and tomato spiced with red chillies and finally tempered with mustard and urad dal tadka. however in this recipe i have added coconut which neutralises the strong flavour of tomato and onion and also adds the creamy texture. in addition you can also vary the proportion of tomato and onion as per preference.
some important tips and recommendations for perfect onion tomato chutney recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend to use ripe tomatoes for a tangy and juicy chutney. also red onion is more preferred in the place of white or brown onions. secondly, i have added desiccated coconut to this recipe, but you can completely skip it if you do not like. however adding coconut gives a nice texture and consistency to the tomato onion chutney recipe. finally, you can skip the tamarind if you think your tomatoes are tangy and sour in taste.
