Here is one recipe that is an all rounder side dish for Dosa, Iddli, Chapathi, Rice and Bread. Kids love it. This is my sister B's recipe and is also photographed by her. She used Naatu Thakkali, which is by nature a little sour. If trying this recipe with the Roma Tomatoes (The fleshy tomatoes that are not sour), add a little Tamarind to the recipe.
Ingredients:
Tomatoes - 10 (around 2 kgs)
Fenugreek powder - 1 teaspoon
Chilli powder - 2-3 teaspoon
Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Sugar - 3 tsp
Salt to taste
Asafotida Powder
Mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon
Sesame Oil(Idhayam) - 2 tablespoons
Method:
Puree the Tomatoes without adding water.
Heat Oil in a Kadai and add Mustard seeds. When it sputters, add the Asafoetida Seeds. Add the Tomato Puree. Boil the content for 1/2 an hour in low heat. Stir occasionally.
Add Turmeric powder, Chilli powder, Salt and Sugar.When it becomes half the quantity (smooth paste), add fenugreek powder and allow it to boil for 5 more minutes. Cool and bottle it. best for Idli, dosa, chappathi, curd rice, tomato rice, sandwich etc., Store in refrigerator.

Sharmi: I will check it out. Also, Many people call this chutney and some people call it pickle. For chutney, I will saute the tomato and grind with other ingredients.
Roopa: Thanks.
Seena: We call this thokku. Let me find out what tomato pickle is. I have heard but not tried so far. Sharmi calls this chutney. Regarding the carrot halwa, when we overcook the carrots, the halwa becomes too soft.
IndoSunGod: yes, my favorite too and as you said, it can go with anything. Best with Chapathi during travel.
Aruna: Sure, give it a shot.

Dear Ladies,
I'm genuinely glad to learn that a noticeable number of civilized Women, still are interested in cooking..!!
Hi, I have prepared this , but a bit different. Checkout Supersamayal's - Spicy tomato Thokku
You said Asafoetida seeds and fenugreek powder. Is that a mistake because we normally use fenugreek seeds and asafoetida powder. The I below the seeds go in first and asafoetida at end. Is that correct?
