Tomato Onion Gotsu/Chutney

                                         There are so many different types of chutneys and gravies you can make with these two vegetables(Tomato and Onion).The combination is so tasty that it goes well with all the south and North Indian breads and Rice as well.These are  the basic ingredients for making most of the north Indian gravies.However coming to this simple gotsu it is a perfect accompaniment for idlis and Dosas and it is very popular in Karnataka as an accompaniment for Neer Dosai.I watch this cookery show by venkatesh Bhat and he was making these two dishes and i thought of recording and blogging them.
