Rekha's Notes
- 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.
