The lazy chutney

I was 21 in 2001 and had finished engineering and like or/and unlike many other engineering graduates had not a clue what to do next. We had a personal computer at home and I used to load it up with the games Commando and Hitman and used to play most of the day! Both my folks would leave for work by 845 am and then the castle was mine! 

By 11, I would get hungry and with the 20 bucks I had I would buy a loaf of Iyengar bakery bread and a cube of cheese or two and get back home. I would cut an onion, tomato and coriander, add a little salt, one green chilli and blend these in a mixer and spread it on the bread and eat. It was delicious. 

Years later, I realized that this was a simple enough delicious recipe anyone can make, born out of necessity and essentially laziness! This morning I made this chutney with Dosa; only, I used yak cheese from Himachal and pudina and cilantro leaves from my garden; affordability and options have increased, laziness has disappeared! But I would never forget this easy-lazy recipe!
