Kara chutney

                                There are different version of kara chutney. Some use to prepare it in raw version while others prepare like this one. Personally i like this version for idlies. If you prepare this chutney, everyone in home will have a extra idli . Idli is tasteless one, so most of the guys hate to have idlies but if we serve some spicy chutney along with it, idli will go inside mouth without any complaint. I also prepare this chutney for paniyaram too.

Now add tomato and salt. Cook till tomato is cooked well and blend with onion . Finally add coconut, fry it for 2 minutes. Switch off the stove and allow to cool. Grind this mixture without adding water. ( water content in tomato and onion is enough for grinding).
