My name is Rama and I am living in San Francisco, California. I am a software engineer in Silicon Valley and expecting my first baby in May'03. Oh yah!! I am excited about it for sure. Now as my life style is changing rapidly, I am always looking for some quick fixes that are easy to make and tastes great. So I invented (not exactly because my mother used to make the better version of it) this recipe that me, my husband and the little one, everybody loves it. So I thought let me share it with you all. Please feel free to add any other specific tastes to it.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Thanks for letting me share this with you all.

Tomato - Dahi Chutney

Ingredients

Cut Tomatoes (medium) 4
Green chilies chopped 2 (as per your taste)
Curd 2 - 1/2 Cups
Turmeric (haldi) 1/2 tbsp
Chili powder 1/2 tbsp (as per your taste)
Mustard/Cumin seeds 1/2 tbsp each
Curry leaves few
Oil 1 tbsp
Salt As per your taste

Method:

1. Add oil to the skillet, when it is hot enough, put mustard/cumin seeds.
2. Allow them to splutter, then add tomato pieces, green chilies and curry leaves in it.
3. Add turmeric/red chili powder and salt.
4. Let it cook for 5-10 minutes till the tomatoes are soft and entire water is evaporated.
5. Once done, allow it to cool for sometime, say3-4 minutes. (For fast cooling, you can put the tomato gravy in a steel container and put this container in another big container having the cold water.
6. Beat curd a little bit. Add the above mixture to this curd and mix well.
7. You can serve this either hot or cold. Serve it with rotis or rice.

Note: Please do not heat it a whole lot, as the curd consistency would become watery on high heat.
