Tomato Perugu Pachadi / Tomato yogurt chutney

Perugu pachadi is an easy but very tasty side dish.  Tomato perugu pachadi is something I make when I am very lazy or out of ideas. I am sure every one has days like that when you do not feel like spending too much time in the kitchen. My husband loves this as side dish with plain dal or curry
