Most of you think that this is just a tomato chutney.. then why were you named it as kanagu chutney??.. yes, i too have a story here for you.. one day i was preparing a chutney.. while preparing i was thinking is there any formula to prepare any chutneys or gravies.. then why we are preparing the items in the same way, same tastes, why don't we give a different try?? Usually i won't prepare tomato chutney in this taste.. would add some spices, flavours, certain quantity and certain formula.. but here i have given a different try.. while i was cooking my kiddo entered the kitchen and he asked mamma what are you doing.. i replied him chutney.. he asked chutney a?? Innaikuma?? His face looks dull.. 'coz for every mamma making chutney is the very easy thing.. i said i have tried a new thing babe.. taste and tell me.. he said chutney la enna different? And oruvaliya tried and said mamma it's awesome.. kaaramalaam illa.. namma ithukku kanagu chutney nu name vaikalaam..  i asked him y pa?? It's just a tomato chutney la.. he said amma.. ellaa chutney kum orae name na how you will differentiate?? See the colour of the chutney looks like a kanakambaram flower so we can name this as kanagu chutney.. yes, this chutney was named by my champ.. give a try.. feedbacks welcomed.. :) keep supporting Ferdin's kitchen :)
