Method
Heat oil in a pan and splutter the mustard seeds.
Add the dried red chilies, asafoetida, garlic, and ginger. Lightly saute them and then add in the tomato, turmeric powder, salt, and sugar.
When the tomato softens and releases its moisture, add the mint leaves and coriander leaves. Cook for 1 more minute.
When it cools lightly, blend it into a slightly coarse chutney. This can be served as a dip with idli, vada, dosa, and also with roti and rice. It can also be used as a sandwich spread.

Some ingredient in the chutney makes it taste bitter. Can't find out what's that
