Ingredients

• 4 medium (roughly 500g) Tomatoes
• 30 g (peeled and chopped) Fresh ginger
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 2 pieces Dried red chilies
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 6 leaves Curry leaves
• 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon or to taste Salt
• 1 teaspoon (optional) Tamarind extract
• 50 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes and chop them into small pieces. Peel and finely chop the ginger and garlic. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the dried red chilies and sauté for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 3

Add the chopped ginger and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened and released their juices.

Step 5

Let the mixture cool for a few minutes. Transfer it to a blender or food processor. Add water if needed to adjust consistency and blend into a smooth chutney.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the same skillet. Add the mustard seeds and let them crackle.

Step 7

Add the curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds. Pour this tempered mixture over the blended tomato chutney.

Step 8

Stir in tamarind extract, if using, and adjust salt as per taste.

Step 9

Serve the Ginger Tomato Chutney warm or at room temperature as a dip or accompaniment. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
