Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Ripe tomatoes
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon Oil (vegetable or olive)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the ripe tomatoes and fresh mint leaves thoroughly under running water.
Chop the tomatoes into small pieces and set aside. Roughly chop the mint leaves and keep them ready.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice the green chilies into halves for easy blending later.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped tomatoes, garlic, and green chilies to the pan. Stir well and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes become soft and mushy.
Remove the pan from heat and allow the cooked mixture to cool down slightly.
Transfer the cooled mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the fresh mint leaves, salt, and sugar. Blend until smooth, adjusting the consistency with a small amount of water if needed.
Pour the chutney into a bowl and stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the Tomato and Mint Chutney fresh as a dip with snacks, a spread for sandwiches, or a side for your main dishes.
