Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 medium (about 500g) Tomatoes
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 2 whole Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 8 leaves Curry leaves
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 1 tablespoon Tamarind paste
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and chop them into small pieces.
Peel the ginger and garlic, and finely chop them. Chop the green chilies as well.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and asafoetida, and let them sputter for a few seconds.
Add the curry leaves, chopped ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and begin to break down.
Add the tamarind paste and 0.5 cup of water. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Use a masher or the back of a spoon to slightly mash the tomatoes for a smoother consistency (optional).
Taste and adjust salt or tamarind if needed. Remove from heat and let the chutney cool slightly.
Serve warm or at room temperature with roti, paratha, dosa, or rice. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
