I have already mentioned in my ellu chutney recipe, that my friend who visited us here, shared with me some interesting chutney recipes. I shared her version of Milagai chutney too.  This onion tomato thokku is one among them and she told that it is her mil's signature dish. the addition of sombu| fennel seeds in this chutney gives a nice taste to this chutney.
