Tomato is an integral part of Indian Cuisine. Be it any dish - day to day or special, its very rare that it misses to be in the kitchen. Not only adds taste to the various dishes it finds its place in, it truly develops the colour , look and and fragrance as well. Aside from being a part of other dishes Tomato can also as the main ingredient for some dishes. 

Here I would like to talk about the different types of Chutney we can prepare with Tomato.

Let's start with Meethi tamatar ki chutney (Tomato Chutney - sweet)

Ingredients :

Tomato - Ripe and Red - 1/2 kg

Gud / Khandsari - 200 gm

Aniseed (Saunf) - 1 tsp

Dry Coconut - 1/4 cup (cut into small peices)

Cashew (Kaju) - for garnishing

Raisin (Kismis) - for Garnishing

Ghee - 2 tbsp

Red Chilly - 2 

Tejpatta - 2

Salt - one pinch

Preparation :

Wash the Tomato and cut it into small cubes.

Cooking :

Pre heat a round bottom kadhai. Put the ghee and let it melt. Add Red Chilly, Tejpatta and Aniseed. Let it crackle. To it add the Tomato and cover it. Let the tomatoes melt under slow heat. After the tomato has melted add gud and pinch of salt and cover. Let it melt . Keep stirring for 10 mins on slow flame (or till the tomato and gud has properly mixed.) Add dry coconut cubes and remove from the flame. Your chutney is ready.

Remove the Chutney serving bowl and garnish with Raisin and Cashews.

Serve with any snacks or add on to any daily cuisine. Kids love it with Parantha.

(If preparing for kids we can avoid Chilly in the crackle)
