Instant Tomato Chutney | Dhideer Thakkali Chutney | Gluten Free and Vegan Recipe

Hi Supermoms,

'Chutney' recipes are always my favourite  to share. 

In fact, there is a chutney recipe  similar  to today's tomato chutney recipe  called the Thanjavur Thakkali Chutney . It was a recipe that I learnt from my Mother-In -Law, Prema. I made a few changes to her recipe and this instant version / Dhideer Thakkali Chutney was born 😁.  But , there is a visible difference in the taste and texture of this chutney. So, I decided to share this recipe with you all. 

I have used just two tomatoes and have diluted it more so that it can be served in a pouring consistency. Takes less than 10 minutes to prepare this chutney. Most handy for busy morning breakfasts. 

 'Dhideer' in Tamil literally means  'All of a Sudden'. As the name suggests, no previous preparation or planning is required to make this dish. 

It can add so much tanginess and taste to any tiffin . 

I served it along with Pune Style Pongal.
