Tomato Coriander Chutney aka Coriander Chutney with Tomato with step by step pics and a short Youtube video. If you like my video, please share it and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel. This is a spicy, slightly tangy chutney with a refreshing flavour of coriander leaves which goes well with Idli, Dosa and Rava Pongal. Mostly, I prepare Coriander Chutney or Tomato Chutney separately but last week, when I was cleaning my refrigerator, I had just a handful of fresh coriander leaves leftover and I was breaking my head how can I finish it? suddenly this chutney struck on my mind, which I had about a decade ago in West Mambalam, Chennai in a fast-food eatery, though I couldn’t remember the ingredients, I altered the recipe as per my family taste and it was really lip-smacking.
