tamatar ki chutney recipe | tamatar ki chatni | tomato ki chatni with detailed photo and video recipe. a spicy and tasty tomato-based condiment served as taste enhancer with choice of meal. it is an ideal side dish for morning breakfast recipes like south indian dosa or steamed idli, but can also be served with rice. it is extremely simple and quick to make with basic ingredients easily available in every kitchen.
well, to be honest, i have already posted the south indian style of tomato chutney made with ripe tomatoes and coconut. but i always wanted to make an north indian style tamatar ki chutney. at a high level, the basic difference between these 2 recipes is the usage of shredded coconut. but there are many other subtle differences. one such notably difference is the texture. the south indian version has a smooth and nice texture whereas, with this recipe, it is more of a dry pickle like texture. this is because the mashed tomatoes are fried till it dehydrates. and hence this condiment has better shelf life compared to the coconut based chutney.
furthermore, some easy and important tips and suggestions for a perfect tamatar ki chutney recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using ripe roma tomatoes for this recipe to get the sweet and spice taste combination. i would not recommend using cherry tomatoes or even campari tomatoes as they may not end up with the same taste. secondly, you can even extend the same recipe by adding finely chopped red onions. this not only adds new taste and flavour but also improves the quantity if you feel just tomatoes yields less. lastly, store this spicy chutney in an airtight container for longer shelf life. in addition, you can either refrigerate or store in a dry place.
