Andhra Steel Tomato Knock Recipe (Tomato Chutney)

Step 1: To begin making the Andhra Style Tamati Pachadi recipe, take the chopped tomatoes in a deep bottomed pan

Step 2: Add salt, turmeric & tamarind to them

Step 3: Keep the pan on medium heat & boil till they loose all the water & turn into a mushy paste alike

Step 4: Keep stirring in between

Step 5: Meanwhile when the tomatoes are boiling, take another pan, heat 2-3 teaspoons of oil

Step 6: Add the mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds

Step 7: Once they crackle, add dry red chillies

Step 8: Fry them till they become fragrant

Step 9: Once done, cool them & grind them into a smooth powder

Step 10: Add the ground masala that we made in step two to the tomatoes & mix well

Step 11: If you think that the chillies aren't spicy enough, then add red chilli powder according to your preference at this step

Step 12: Once again heat 5 tbsp oil, add the garlic pods & mustard seeds to it

Step 13: Once the garlic turns brownish & the seeds crackle, switch off the stove & let them cool

Step 14: Add the tempered mixture to the chutney

Step 15: You can even add some urad dal or chana dal to this tempering

Step 16: But make sure to add this tempered oil mix only when it is completely cooled off

Step 17: This is important as it makes sure the chutney stays fresh for a long time

Step 18: Serve Andhra Style Tamati Pachadi along with Ghee Masala Dosa and Homemade Soft Idlis for your breakfast or as your tea time snack
