Tomato Chutney Ingredients
- Tomatoes: Use ripe and juicy tomatoes for the best flavor and texture. If possible, try to use country tomatoes (naatu thakaali). Country tomatoes are naturally tangy and add wonderful flavor to the chutney. Tomatoes are high in antioxidants like lycopene, which is beneficial for health.
- Green Chiles: Adjust the quantity based on your spice preference; green chilies add heat and flavor. Consider deseeding the chilies if you prefer a milder chutney. Green chilies are rich in vitamins A and C, as well as capsaicin, which can boost metabolism.
- Roasted Coriander Powder: Enhances its aroma and flavor. Adds a warm, earthy undertone to the chutney. Coriander is known for its digestive properties and is rich in antioxidants.
- Roasted Cumin Powder: Like coriander, roasting cumin powder intensifies its flavor. Provides a smoky, slightly nutty taste to the chutney. Cumin aids digestion and adds a depth of flavor to many dishes.
- Turmeric Powder: Adds a bright yellow color and mild earthy flavor. Known for its anti-inflammatory properties and health benefits. Be cautious with the quantity to avoid overpowering the chutney’s flavor.
- Fresh Coriander Leaves: Adds freshness and a pop of green color to the chutney. Provides a subtle herbaceous flavor. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
- Salt: Balances and enhances the overall flavors of the chutney. Use salt judiciously to avoid overpowering the other ingredients.
- Oil: Used for sautéing the tomatoes and spices. Enhances the cooking process and helps blend flavors. Choose a neutral-flavored oil like vegetable or canola oil.

How To Make Quick & Easy Tomato Chutney
Rinse the tomatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residue.
Start by cutting the tomato in half, then into quarters. Remove the core and seeds.
Add oil to pan and add in chopped tomatoes, green chilies, roasted coriander powder, roasted cumin powder, turmeric powder and salt.
Mix well and then add roughly chopped coriander leaves.
Place the lid and let this cook on low flame for 4-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the lid and stir in the ingredients. Cook till tomatoes turn mushy.
It will take 15-18 minutes for tomatoes to turn mushy.
Once the tomatoes are mushy and the chutney mixture has thickened, turn off the flame and let it cool down to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor.
Grind the mixture roughly to achieve your desired consistency. Some prefer it coarse, while others prefer it smoother.
Remove the chutney in a serving bowl and set aside.
Now in a pan, heat oil and to this add mustard seeds and curry leaves. When the mustard seeds start to crackle, carefully pour this tempering over the chutney.
