In a pan, pour 2 tbsp sesame oil and let it heat. Once hot, add 2-3 tbsp mustard seeds in it and let them splutter.

Step 2

Add ½ tsp split urad dal in the oil along with ½ tsp fenugreek seeds and a pinch of asafoetida. Roughly chop 2-3 tomatoes and add them to the pan followed by a handful of curry leaves.

Step 3

To season the chutney, add ¼ tsp turmeric powder, ½ tsp red chilli powder, and salt according to taste. Saute this on medium flame till the tomatoes have become soft.
