This one is my Dad's favorites.So this was in the menu at least twice a week :).My mom is a working mom and she was more than happy to prepare this dish and it was an easy do. A basic chutney with the tangy taste of tomatoes undisturbed.

Make it my way:

Heat Oil in a kadai. Add Mustard Seeds and allow it to splutter. Add the other items for tadka.

Wait till the dhal starts turning slight brown. Add the onions and saute till translucent.

Add the Green chillies and Tumeric powder,saute for a minute. Add the tomatoes mix well till the tomatoes are blended with the masala.
