Tomato and Onion Chutney

Description
This dish can act as a tasty accompaniment to a simple Dal, eaten with rice or rotis. As simple as it may be to make, the taste is awesome! I especially remember my mom making it for me anytime I would whine and sulk at things made for lunch that I wasn't a big fan off! Instead of fighting over it with me and forcing me to eat things she knew I never would, she just did the smart thing and whipped this dish up for me in a matter of minutes. I would happily relish it with warm rotis and the dining table would have peace and calm with everyone happy with the contents on their plate.

Even today, I still make this when we (me and hubby) want to have a simple delicious meal of just Dal and rice.
