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
Directions
Step 1
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and chop them into small pieces.
Step 2
Peel the ginger and garlic, and finely chop them. Chop the green chilies as well.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the curry leaves, chopped ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Use a masher or the back of a spoon to slightly mash the tomatoes for a smoother consistency (optional).
Step 8
Taste and adjust salt or tamarind if needed. Remove from heat and let the chutney cool slightly.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature with roti, paratha, dosa, or rice. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
