1. Chop Onions and Tomato into thin slices. Wash curry leaves. Break red chillies and discard the seeds.
2. Heat a Kadai and pour oil. Add mustard and allow to splutter. Lower the flame and add cumin and gram dhal. Fry till light golden colour. Now add sliced onions, curry leaves and red chillies. Raise the flame and saute till onions turns into light golden pink. Then add sliced tomato and salt. Saute for few seconds. Lower the flame and cover with lid. Cook for 3 minutes. Open the lid and check. Saute till tomato becomes soft and everything bind together. Switch off the flame and allow to cool.
3. Grind cooled onion-tomato mixture into a semi smooth texture using very little water. Adjust salt if needed. Remove to a bowl. Keep aside.
4. Now we temper the Chutney. Heat a kadai with 2 tsp of oil. Add mustard and allow to splutter. Switch off the flame and add curry leaves. Allow to cool and pour over the chutney and mix well (Adding cooled tempering retains the flavour of chutney). Onion Tomato Chutney is ready.
