Tomato Chutney
Sweet tomato chutney with Panch Phoran tempering
This is a childhood flavor recreated for me! The tomato chutney is almost like a tomato jam with the difference in the texture and the flavor of the tempering spices- Panch Phoran.
Panch phoran is a mix of five different spices- equal quantities of cumin, nigella, fennel, mustard and fenugreek seeds. This, chili powder to add the heat, salt and sugar is all that is added to get an absolutely delicious chutney!
The chutney can be stored refrigerated for about a month.
