When sautéing, the onion should be nicely sauted till its brown to get the nice onion flavor.

While grinding the chutney, it should be ground little more than coarse and form paste.

For this chutney, there is no need to add water as tomato itself is creamy. But in case if you leave it on heat for more time, it may become dry. If it becomes dry, then you can add 1 or 2 tbsp of water and adjust the consistency.
