Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and chop them into small pieces.
Peel and finely chop the garlic and ginger. Slit the green chilies lengthwise.
Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then, add cumin seeds and curry leaves, stirring for a few seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped garlic, ginger, and green chilies to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic turns golden brown.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and mix well.
Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix everything thoroughly.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook the tomatoes on a low-medium flame for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and mushy.
Add the jaggery (or brown sugar) and water to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the chutney to thicken.
Turn off the heat and let the chutney cool slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature with rice, roti, or as a dip for snacks like samosas or pakoras.
