2 tomatoes diced
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole yogurt strained

Method

Heat the oil and add the onions and garlic and sauté till translucent.

Add in the cumin-coriander and chili powders, followed by the sweet chutney.

Mix in the tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes with the salt.

Add in the yogurt, heat through but do not boil.
