I somehow always end up having different chutneys and dips refrigerated. There is always fresh stock of these that gets prepared at home. Some like the Mint Chutney go well with kababs, grills and rolls, Onion Chutney is a great accompaniment with boiled tapioca, sweet potatoes or yam and this onion and tomato chutney I am sharing today is a perfect side with dosas and idlis.
This chutney tastes best fresh, but then a day or two of refrigeration is ok too. Since it has coconut added to it, it will not taste good beyond two days of preparing.
