Tomato Chatni / Tomato Chutney


The Bengali chatni is quite different from the usual other chutneys. It is usually sweet ... and whatever sour tang it has, it gets from its main ingredients like mango or tomato.
Very simple to make, this chatni can be had as a spread with bread / hot rotis. Also goes great with stuffed parathas.
Need : Chopped tomatoes, sugar, a pinch of salt, curry leaves, whole red chillies, mustard seeds, sliced ginger and a little cooking oil.
How to : Heat oil. Add the mustard seeds and curry leaves. Now add the tomatoes and salt. Cook till tomatoes turn mushy.
Now add the sliced ginger and sugar. Cook till all water has dried up.

  2. My Mother used to make this when we would run short of vegetables for School lunch, and it was always a hit with my friends too - without the sugar! Yours looks great - this should taste great on bread and pizza too!

    Got back from Mahabaleshwar yestarday - all of us got a stomach infection and we have just flushed it out:(!! It is cold now in Poona, isn't it? Mahabaleshwar was really cold in the evenings but even there I think the winters are not like before!

    Happy New Year!
