Tomato Onion Chutney

This Tomato Onion Chutney is a flavorful and tangy condiment made with ripe tomatoes, finely chopped onions, and a mix of spices. It's cooked until it reaches a jam-like consistency, then finished with a touch of apple cider vinegar for a slight tang. Garnished with fresh coriander leaves, it's a delicious accompaniment to many dishes. Despite its complex flavors, this chutney is quick and easy to make, requiring only a single pan and about 35 minutes of your time.

Ingredients

  • 4 large tomatoes ripe and firm
  • 2 large onions finely chopped
  • 2 green chillies chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • Fresh coriander leaves chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Wash the tomatoes thoroughly, chop them into small pieces, and set aside.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is heated, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to splutter.
  • Add the finely chopped onions and chopped green chillies into the pan and sauté until the onions become translucent.
  • Next, add the chopped tomatoes, salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and sugar into the pan. Stir well.
  • Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes become mushy and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
  • Stir the chutney occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
