Cook's Hideout: Plum Tomato Chutney

August 07, 2013

Plum Tomato Chutney

One of the Indian cookbooks that I really enjoyed leafing through in the recent past is Hari Nayak's 'My Indian Kitchen'. It's beautiful to look at and the recipes are very easy to follow too. I have already posted this quick and easy Avocado Raita recipe from the book.
Plum Tomato Chutney
This tomato chutney is also a very quick to make recipe and goes well with just about anything; rice, rotis, chips, bread etc. The freshly ground spices make this chutney taste so vibrant and tasty. A must try!!

Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Tastes great with rice, idli, dosa or even smeared on toasted bread.
Since this uses Summer's fresh Plum tomatoes, I'm sending this over to Valli's Summer Special Mela @ Cooking4allSeasons
