This is my hubby's grandmother's recipe.She makes this chutney with shallots/small onions and it will be very tasty. Since I get shallots rarely, I make it  with the regular onions.

For seasoning

1. Mustard seeds - 1tsp
2. Oil - 1tbs

Method
          Cut the onions and tomatoes into big chunks.Keep a pan in the stove top and add a tsp of oil.Fry the red chillies,channa dhal , urad dhal and transfer it to a plate.

  
 Add another spoon of oil in the same pan and saute the onions till it becomes transparent.Then add in tomatoes,curry leaves and coriander leaves  fry it for a minute followed by the grated coconut .Turn off the stove and let the mixture gets cool down.

Now grind the fried dhals and red chillies with salt,tamarind to a coarse powder.Next add in the cool down mixture and blend it to smooth paste.Transfer it to a serving bowl and season it with mustard seeds.
