Tomato Mint Chutney Recipe - Side Dish For Idli Dosa

I got this recipe from Mallika badrinath’s chutney varieties book.I tried for idli , dosa. It tasted great for both. We loved it very much and i have included this chutney in our routine side dishes..Its very simple. It uses little coconut though. The color of the chutney may vary depending on the amount of tomatoes u use. If u use more tomatoes , red chillies and less mint leaves , it will be on the reddish shade as u see in this picture. I have tried adding more mint leaves, green chillies and less tomatoes too.It comes out in green color.But whatever may be the color , its tastes  . Do try this recipe , u’ll love it for sure !!
