Tomato Chutney : (Mothers Day Special from Aigo)

Vegetables: Tomatoes, curry leaves

Other ingredients: Tamarind pulp, Red chilies, Fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, hing, salt, little sugar,

Procedure:

1: Cut tomatoes into large pieces and cook them in a pan. Add tamarind pulp, turmeric powder to the tomatoes. Cook until most liquid evaporates from tomatoes and a thick pulp is left in the pot.
Add salt & sugar to the cooked pulp.

2: In a small pan add oil and heat it. When oil is smoking add mustard, fenugreek, red chilies and curry leaves. Take the pan off the stove and add hing powder.

3: Take all of the above except the oil and grind, add tomato pulp and grind it little more.

4: Take the ground mixture into serving bowl and add the remaining oil into it.

Note : This chutney must not be ground into a fine paste. Consistency should be little chunky.

Variation: Alternatively boil tomatoes until the skin cracks. Peel the tomatoes and mash them and then cook until water evaporates.
