Recipe Marathon: Day 6 - Tomato Coconut Chutney
Life is precious and priceless, but one thing thats even more important is Love… true love.. Lucky are those who treasure it for life….:)
A short story…
There was a blind boy who hated himself just because he was blind, he hated everyone, except his loving girlfriend, she was always there for him, he said that if he could only see the world, he would marry his girlfriend.. .
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to him and then he could see everything, including his girlfriend.
His girlfriend asked him, ‘Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?’
The boy was shocked when he saw that his girlfriend was blind too, and refused to marry her.
His girlfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to him saying, ‘Just take care of my eyes dear.’ (She had donated her eyes to him)
Only few remember what life was before, and who’s always been there ever…
What make our lives complete is such self-forgetful love and compassion and a feeling that you are ’someone special’ …to….someone special!
.. and I am lucky to find such true love and this is ‘his’ recipe..:D.. ‘S’ knows my liking (just as my ardent love for Eggs!) for any kind of ‘Tomato Chutneys’ and he made this for me last weekend..:)
…do I have to say I felt special (Yah! for a chutney.. hehehe!) and it tasted yummilicious!

Ingredients:
2 Tomatoes (cut into chunks)

1 medium sized Onion, chopped
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
2-3 Green chillies
Salt to taste

1 tsp Cumin seeds
2 Red Chillies
a pinch of Hing
Preparation:
1. Heat oil in a wok, add in urad dal, cumin seeds, red chillies and hing. When they start to crackle add garlic and onions. Saute for 2-3 minutes until soft and tender.
2. Now add chunks of tomatoes, green chillies with fresh coriander and cook for 7-8 minutes on medium-low. When they are mushy and pulpy, add shredded coconut and mix well.
3. Season with salt and turmeric. Turn off the heat and grind the contents until smooth, to chutney like consistency, adding water if needed.
