Tomato Chutney Recipe
This spicy tomato chutney is a condiment that goes with anything from eggs to biryani and is great as a spread for sandwiches.
I make my tomato chutney with canned, chopped tomatoes because I feel the color and flavor is better than fresh in this dish. I love making this because it's quick and it lasts in the fridge for quite a few days as it has a good amount of oil and spices in it.
I keep mine pretty runny but you could keep cooking yours to the consistency you prefer. So, the next time you need something tangy and lip smacking give this super easy, super quick chutney a try.
