Notes
If fresh tomatoes are unavailable, then you can use canned tomatoes.
To save time, use pre-grated fresh coconut. It is available in the freezer section of any Indian grocery store. If using frozen coconut, thaw it to room temperature before making the chutney; otherwise, it may curdle.
Add some skinned roasted peanuts while blending for a taste change.
To make the chutney gluten-free, skip adding asafetida.
