Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium tomatoes sliced
  • 1 tbsp ginger shredded
  • 4 green chilli sliced long ways
  • Pinch of asafetida hing
  • 1 tsp cumin seed
  • 1 tsp black mustard seed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 2-3 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 2 tbsp oil

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a saucepan.Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil; if it cracks right away it is ready.
  • Add the asafetida, black mustard seed and cumin seed. After seeds are cracked add bay leaves, paprika, and turmeric.
  • Stir for a second and add sliced tomatoes and green chili.
  • Cover the pan after mixture comes to boil and let it cook for 6 to 7 minutes on low medium heat; tomatoes should be soft but still be in slices.
  • Mix the cornstarch with 2 teaspoons of water and add to the tomatoes (corn starch is added to give thickness to gravy but this is optional).
  • Let chutney cook for another minute. Add sugar and cilantro, close the heat and cover for few minutes.
  • Adjust the salt, sugar and pepper to your taste.

Notes

Tip
Add the sugar slowly as needed, depending on sourness of tomatoes.

  23. Just love all these recipes:

    All my life I have been waiting to make these dishes: With this kind of taste
    Finally: I found your site:

    THANK YOU & THANK YOU

  25. Hello Manjula Aunty,

    Thanks a lot for your wonderful and delicious recipes. I am providing my family with delicious meals after watching your videos.

    My three year old also watches your videos with me. Now she is trying to make pulao, which was very funny to watch.

    Thanks,
    Sneha

  28. Thank you for another wonderful recipe Aunty! This is delicious. Anytime I eat Indian food I am forced to make this by my tastebuds. Everything just tastes so much better with Tomato Chutney!

    I have made it raw (not cooked) by omitting the cornstarch so I can get more vitamins out of the veggies. That is also VERY delicious. Many, many thanks for your recipes!

  30. Thankyou so much for this recipe and all the other ones you post. You have a great skill and are wonderful for sharing it with others so they can enjoy eating vegetarian even more. We are new to eating vegetarian and your recipes are making it a pleasure to eat in a healthier and more friendly way.

  31. G’day from Australia aunty,

    i cant thank you enough for your recipes. They are scrumptious and mouth watering. The best part about watching your recipes is they are very EASY… i have so far tried yellow rice, pani puri and today i am going to try dhokla, tomatoes chutney (my husbands favorite). The funny part is that all the ingredients that you use are mandatory available at every Indian household so really we are not going out of the way to buy ingredients for your recipe. You have not only brought variety of food to my table but also controlled my budget. We are non-vegetarians and with your recipes we have become more vegetarian oriented. A big surprise for me is …MY HUSBAND IS COOKING AS WELL after watching your recipes and its sheer delight..
    Thanx aunty
    Please add more recipes asap…
    Love to you
    Jessica and Ali

  36. Hi,
    I have just made 5 batches of your samosa’s and doubled up your tamarind chutney recipe and I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW FANTASTIC everything came out! I can not wait for this afternoon when 45 dinner guests arrive!

    Thank you kindly for your excellent recipes!

  38. This tomato chutney recipe is really delicious!

    I changed it a bit – I used cherry tomatoes since my garden was overflowing with them, and used dehydrated red chillies instead of green ones since I was out. I also used just a couple of spoons of sugar since I already had some sweet tomato chutney in the fridge, and reduced the chutney a bit more since the cherry tomatoes were so watery.

    Thank you also for setting aside your recipes which are vegan. It is much appreciated!

  40. Hello Madam,

And the best part is the videos of the recipes, which makes it a lot easier to follow. They are so detailed and you take the time & effort to explain every little step. Thank you so much!!!

  44. Hi aunty, I love your recipes, and you remind me of my aunt 🙂 I would like to ask, is it possible to make this chutney in advance, as I plan to make it in advance and serve it at my guest’s house. How long can this chutney last? Thank you. I am a big fan of your site now.

  53. Hello Manjula,
    Thanks very much for all of your recipes – I try new ones at least once a week.
    I made this chutney today – it tastes very good.
    I admit that I always make changes to my taste — I added chilli powder for more heat, and some vinegar for more tang.
    Thanks again!
