Sweet and Spicy Tomato Chutney with Nigella Seeds



How to make Sweet Tomato Chutney, Easy Recipe of Home made Sweet and Spicy Tomato Chutney, Indian Sweet Tomato Chutney


Hello Friends,

Today I am going to share yet another chutney recipe which is sweet, spicy and tangy in taste and made from red juicy and good quality tomatoes. This recipe was a specialty of my grandma.




As per mom, in those days, this was one of the most relished chutney in their place and in every season many batches were prepared. My granny use to prepare this chutney with just five ingredients i.e. tomatoes, jaggery, red chili powder, Onion s
eeds and a pinch of salt.



Sweet and Spicy Tomato chutney is a very delightful and versatile condiment which is made from fresh red juicy tomatoes, which are cooked with sugar or jaggery, flavored with Nigella seeds and spiced with Indian spices which give this chutney a very distinctive and scrumptious taste. This chutney goes well with all types of Indian breads, but best suited for stuffed parathas, Aloo stuffed spicy grilled sandwiches and as a spread on bread or wraps.

◾You have to cook these tomatoes for 20-25 minutes until the sugar is fully dissolved and tomatoes become soft and pulpy. Continue stirring in between to avoid sticking.



◾Additional water is not needed if using red juicy tomatoes, if moisture is missing in this chutney add half cup water. Cook this mixture, until tomatoes are cooked nicely and the mixture thickens. Please see to it that this chutney has to be in semi liquid consistency. 


◾ Take out from heat, allow it to cool down. Lastly add vinegar. Transfer this into sterilized jars and seal. Store this in the refrigerator, will keep for 5-6 weeks.
