Tomato Chutney (Tamatar ki Chutney)

Tomato Chutney (Tamatar ki Chutney)

Chutneys can be made from almost any combination of vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices. Chutneys are usually grouped into sweet or hot forms; both forms usually contain spices, including chili, but differ by their main flavors.

Tomato Chutney is one of my favorites. Today I am going to share a recipe that I learnt from my mom. This recipe is a special preparation from Eastern India where people enjoy Aloo Parathas (or most other Indian breads) with this Chutney. Tomato Chutney can also be served with Rice, or as a dip for various pakodas and Samosa.

And you know whats amazing? Tamatar ki Chutney( as it is called in India) can be refrigerated for 2 weeks.

Note: some of the ingredients can be replaced, for example the Raisins can be replaced with Dates.
