Spicy Tomato Chutney

So for the yummy bhajias, my sister made this spicy tangy tomato relish! Its one of my uncle's recipe that she improvised and is a must try!
Gives a different edge to the crispy bhajias with its different combination of flavours.
You can try this with a lot of other fried snacks too! 

Makes: 1 bowl. Preparation time: 5 - 10 mins. Cooking Time: Nil

1 1/2 tomato, roughly quatered
1 small carrot, blanched, roughly chopped
4-5 cloves of garlic, halved
1 inch ginger, peeled, roughly chopped
1 tbsp red chilli powder
1 tsp green chilly paste (optional)
1/2 tsp lemon juice (optional)

Notes & Tips:

1. You may adjust the proportion of tomato & carrots to suit the tang along with some sugar

2. My jain readers may omit the garlic and proceed.

3. Remember to use blanched carrots as we are not cooking this chutney. Its for an added texture & flavour. 

4. This chutney can be stored frozen for upto 2-3 weeks!
