Tomatoes are the most important part of any Indian dish. It is not very common that you make a dish with no tomatoes. Most of the Indian gravy recipes have tomatoes in them. i personally love the chutneys, the various chutneys that can be made with tomatoes, may be that is why i have 4 different types of chutneys with tomatoes and i love them all equally.
Like i mentioned this is a mix of crunch and spice, the crunch in this comes from the chopped onions we use, I love to use them raw, because it gives me a salad feel. :) if i have to explain this chutney in easy word i would say this is Indianised saalsa. The tangy taste comes from the tomatoes.
