My mom's special tomato chutney

This is the chutney that my mom used to make for our tiffen boxes when she is left with very little time in the morning rush-hour. We call it 'avasara chutney' - meaning  "Hurry-burry chutney" and tastes awesome! It has very few ingredients and has no prep-time at all!

Ingredients

Tomato                                5 nos
Red chillies                          5 nos
Salt                                      As needed

To temper

Oil                                     2 tblspns
Mustard seeds                     1/2 tsp
Asafoetida                           1 pinch


Method:

1. Grind tomatoes, red chillies and salt together with little water to a runny paste.
2. In a hot stir fry pan, add oil, mustard seeds to splutter and asafoetida. 
3. Add this runny paste, mix well and bring it to a boil. 
4. Let it simmer for 10-15 mins. Mix it well every few minutes to ensure even cooking and no burning.
5. Between the 10 and  15 minute mark, the oil begins to separate, the mixture will be thickened and the raw smell of tomatoes will be gone. That is when the chutney is ready.

This quick and easy chutney can be had with idlies, dosas, pongal, vadas and chappathis.
