Notes
- Some like to use tomatoes instead of tamarind pulp. When using them, If your tomatoes are tangy, then you can reduce the tamarind pulp to half its quantity.
- Adding a tsp of ghee or nallennai just before serving the chutney makes the chutney more tastier.
Hi in the whole ingredients list and the process there is no mention of tomatoes but in the notes the first thing it says is if your tomatoes are sour reduce the tamarind paste accordingly ..
Pls clarify are we using tomatoes of not in this teceipe
sorry, its my mistake. Updated now.
