Tomato Mashed Chutney
This tomato mashed chutney is a simple, homestyle Indian side dish made with ripe tomatoes, onions, garlic, and a blend of spices. Cooked down until thick and flavorful, it pairs beautifully with steemed rice, flatbread, parathas, or even as a spicy dip with snacks.
Ingredients
- 4 medium tomatoes, chopped into small pieces
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 2 whole dried red chilies
- 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons mustard oil
- ½ tablespoon mustard seeds
- ½ tablespoon kashmiri red chili powder
- ½ tablespoon cumin powder
- ½ tablespoon black pepper powder
- 4 pinches turmeric powder
- salt to taste
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of mustard oil in a frying pan. Once hot, add the mustard seeds and let them crackle. Add the chopped onion, green chilies, garlic, and whole red chilies. Saute until the onions turn light golden brown.
- Mix in all the powdered spices, turmeric, cumin, black pepper, salt, and Kashmiri red chili powder. Stir for a few seconds.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and saute well. Pour in 1 cup of water, stir, and cover the pan with a lid.
- Reduce the flame to low and let the chutney cook for 10–15 minutes, until the tomatoes turn soft and the water evaporates.
- Once the chutney thickens and the oil starts to separate, switch off the flame. And serve with steamed rice, flatbread, or pair as a side dish with any main course.
