    Tomato pachadi is a tangy chutney which makes any meal awesome. Andhra tomato pickle or tomato thokku is a great way to spice up things. Be it a simple khichdi or dal rice. This recipe is from my favorite aunt & sis. Traditional chutney recipe from our manamma's kitchen.

    It is fairly simple to make. Best way to use left over tomatoes too. Tamati pachadi is one for keeps always as it tastes great.Make tomato chutney for dosa, idli and moong dal dosa, if you are bored of coconut chutney.
