Mom's Tomato Chutney - Indian Tomato Relish

By Petrina Verma Sarkar, About.com

I love this simple, easy-to-prepare Chutney. My Mom usually serves it with Pulaos and Biryanis. It also tastes really good with Stuffed Parathas.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsps vegetable/canola/ sunflower cooking oil
  • 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
  • 6-8 curry leaves
  • 2 onions, sliced finely
  • 2 green chillies coarsely chopped (reduce for less heat)
  • 1/2 tsp ginger paste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic paste
  • 5 big red, ripe tomatoes, chopped finely
  • 1 big green bell pepper, chopped fine
  • 1/2 bunch spring onions, chopped fine
  • 4 tbsps tomato ketchup
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup of chopped fresh, green coriander

Preparation:

  • Heat the oil in a pan and when hot, add the mustard seeds and curry leaves to it. Fry till the spluttering stops.
  • Now add the onions. Fry till soft. Add the green chillies and ginger and garlic pastes. Fry for a minute.
  • Add the tomatoes and cook till pulpy. When done, add the chopped green bell peppers, spring onions, tomato ketchup and salt to taste. Cook for 2 more minutes and turn off the heat.
  • Put the Chutney into a serving bowl and garnish with the chopped green coriander. Serve with any Pulao or with Stuffed Parathas.
