In this tomato ginger chutney I like to add a good amount of ginger. If you can tolerate the heat from ginger I recommend using the amount suggested in the recipe. This chutney also goes very well adai or pesarattu or mixed dal dosa.
This is a no onion garlic chutney recipe. As we are adding ginger, asafoetida is also not added. So this is a very simple chutney with clean flavors. You can add some roasted gram dal while grinding to reduce the heat. Use sesame oil in this chutney for nice flavor. Sesame oil also helps in reducing the heat.
