Scale
- 1 kg (2.2 lbs) tomatoes, ripe and firm
- 200g (7 oz) red onions, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 red chilies, finely chopped (adjust according to your spice preference)
- 2.5cm (1 in) fresh ginger, grated
- 150g (5 oz) brown sugar
- 100 ml (3.5 fl oz) red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Start by blanching the tomatoes. Make a small "X" shaped incision at the bottom of each tomato. Bring a pot of water to a boil and carefully drop the tomatoes into the boiling water. Let them cook for 1-2 minutes or until you see the skin starting to peel away. Remove the tomatoes from the boiling water and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Peel off the skin, chop the tomatoes, and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to sizzle for a few seconds until they start to pop. Be careful not to burn them.
- Add the finely chopped onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped red chilies to the saucepan. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the onions turn translucent and lightly browned.
- Stir in the paprika, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook for an additional minute to release the flavors.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, brown sugar, and red wine vinegar to the saucepan. Mix well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the chutney simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency.
- Once the chutney has cooled, transfer it to sterilized jars and store in the refrigerator. It can be enjoyed immediately, but the flavors will meld together better if you let it sit for a day or two before consuming.
Notes
- Instead of fresh ginger, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.
