Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ripe tomatoes
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash and dice the tomatoes into small cubes. Finely chop the red onion, garlic, and ginger.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.
Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and mix well. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down.
Stir in the brown sugar, white vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, red chili flakes, and salt.
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The chutney should thicken during this time.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add a pinch of chili flakes or additional sugar to balance flavors, if desired.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before transferring to clean, sterilized jars.
Store the chutney in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer preservation.
