Green Tomato Chutney ~ Hiravya Tomatochi Chutney (Method 2)

This is a simple and quick recipe. Green tomatoes and chillies make this tangy spicy tomato chutney. Earlier I have posted another recipe of Green Tomato Chutney. I made by this method and I liked this one more.

Ingredients:

• Green tomatoes- 3 small or 1 cup
• Green chillies- 3 or to taste
• Garlic- 5 cloves
• Fresh coriander-  ¼ cup
• Mustard seeds- ½ tsp
• Cumin seeds- ½ tsp
• Asafetida ((Hing)-  ¼ tsp
• Oil- 1 tbsp
• Salt- to taste
• Sugar- ½ tsp 

Method:

• Wash and chop the tomatoes into big chunks.  Also chop chillies and coriander. 
  
• Heat oil in a non-stick pan and add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add cumin seeds.
• Add garlic, chillies, hing and saute a while. 
• Now add the tomatoes  and saute a  while. 
• Cover and cook for about 2 minutes or till the tomatoes become little bit soft but not pulpy. 
  
• Switch off the gas and let it cool. 
• When it cools, add coriander, salt and sugar.  Grind into smooth paste. 
• The chutney is ready. Serve this with chapati, paratha, dosa, idli or Ghavana. 

Tips:

• You can add 1 tbsp roasted peanuts or roasted sesame seeds into this chutney for nutty flavour.  
• You can use ripe red tomato instead of green tomato. But Green Tomato Chutney is more tasty.
• This chutney could also be made using ridge gourd's peels.  
• It stays good in refrigerator for 2-3 days.
