    Tomato Chutney Recipe. A super quick easy to cook tomato recipe in 20 minutes. Another of My Mom’s recipes that needs very few ingredients and tastes absolutely amazing. The best thing is it’s super easy, even beginners can make it.

    tomato chutney 

    Serve tamatar chutney as a side dish with Paratha, or toasted Buns, as a sauce with pakora, cheela or any savoury fritters. 

    This simple recipe that tastes delicious is the next in my 20 minutes recipe series and Indian basics. You know how much I love any recipe that helps me plan my Indian family meals.

    And, after many of your heartening feedbacks about her simple and easy sabzi recipes with very few ingredients. So a small ingredient list and full-on flavour and taste makes it idea Indian recipe for beginner cooks. Let's make this tomato chutney or tamatar ki sabzi as my Mom calls it.

    tomato chutney for breakfast

    Just like Aloo pyaz sabzi, this was another staple in her breakfast recipes. As children, we loved this tomato dish with paratha mostly at least once in a week. If it was Sunday a day reserved for late breakfast (9 AM was late in those days :D) It was served alongside butter-toasted soft buns called BUND not BUN.

    Those were simple days and life was much simpler and pleasures were even smaller. 

    Enough trip down the memory lane lets come back to reality and talk about this tomato chutney recipe. 

    This is one of the best recipes for beginners and bachelors. I often make a double batch and enjoy it for various meals throughout the week. With laccha paratha or masala paratha as a breakfast, as a side dish for lunch or dinner or as an accompaniment for snacks like sandwiches or pakora.

    This is also the base for another of my favourite dishes, the Tamatar wala paneer.      

    What makes it ideal for bachelor and beginner cooks is, it’s an easy dinner recipe for beginners, ideal food to make for lunch, easy side dish and an inexpensive dinner when you are not sure what to cook. 

    The secret for making the best dish is how you cook tomatoes and how much you cook tomatoes. That is the single most effective method to make any dish taste amazing even with minimal ingredients such as this recipe.

    Recipe Notes and Tips

    Make sure to use  fully ripe red tomatoes to make this chutney.

    Tomatoes need to be cooked thoroughly and properly till rawness is gone.

    I like this chutney towards the sour side so add less amount of jaggery which is enough to bring out the sweetness of tomatoes. You can add more jaggery if you like more prominent sweetness.
