Tomato chutney

I was reading on wikipedia that there are 7500 varieties of tomatoes grown in the world. You can buy tomato in any part of the world not like some of the vegetables which are just grown in particular areas only.  Tomato because of its tangy nature and red color gives a wonderful flavour and rich color to soups, pastas, chutney, curries, rice, juices etc. Tomato chutney or bhaaji is an elementary recipe which any new cook can make it and there is no way you can spoil it. You can serve it with chapati, rice, idli or dosa.
