This tomato pachadi is a simple and wholesome South Indian style chutney recipe. And this is again my mother's recipe which has cooked tomatoes, peanuts, sesame seeds, and other spices.
We usually eat this tomato pachadi for rice but it will be a good accompaniment for idly, dosa, umpa, and roti.
I made this in the grinder, you can make this in a mortar pestle as well. As we have added peanuts and sesame seeds, the shelf life is less. This is no onion no garlic tomato chutney recipe but you can add few garlic pods as well while cooking tomatoes.

Let's make tomato chutney
- Heat kadai and dry roast peanuts, sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and methi or fenugreek seeds one by one. Keep all the roasted ingredients aside and let them cool.
- To the same kadai add oil and fry green chilies and keep them aside. Now add chopped tomato and cook till done. Add chopped coriander leaves and switch off the flame.
- Once the ingredients are cooled a bit, add these to the grinder and make a smooth paste out of it.
- Take a small kadai and do the tadka with tadka ingredients and mix it to the ground chutney. Tomato chutney is ready to serve 🙂
