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

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dice the tomatoes into small cubes. Finely chop the red onion, garlic, and ginger.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and mix well. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down.

Step 6

Stir in the brown sugar, white vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, red chili flakes, and salt.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add a pinch of chili flakes or additional sugar to balance flavors, if desired.

Step 9

Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before transferring to clean, sterilized jars.

Step 10

Store the chutney in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer preservation.
