We have several dishes that we serve as a side dish such as Pickle, Raita, Chutney, Sweets and Desserts, etc. The most famous among them is the Chutney dishes. In Chutney also there are various types and flavours of chutney’s. We serve chutney as a side dish since it adds extra flavour to our meal. Chutney can be sweet or sour or tangy or spicy. The type of chutney to be selected depends on the type of food that we are having. I have been sharing a number of chutney recipes in my food blog and today I am going to share Sweet Tomato Chutney. Sweet Tomato Chutney is a spicy and tangy dip that we prepare from tomato and sugar or Jaggery (Gudd.)
Sweet Tomato Chutney or Tamatar Ki Meethi Chutney is prepared in the same way as Tomato Garlic chutney with sugar or jaggery replacing salt. It is very easy and quick to make. To prepare the chutney we need ripe tomatoes so that we can easily cook. If the tomatoes are not ripe then chutney will not come out good which can ruin the taste of the chutney. You can add sugar or jaggery for sweetness as per your choice. If you like you can add both the ingredients as per your requirement since it will add extra flavour to the chutney. Add both the ingredients in appropriate amount to get a sweet, spicy and tangy taste.
To prepare Sweet Tomato Chutney, first cook Tomatoes with Cumin Seeds, Mustard Seeds, Asafoetida, Curry Leaves, Ginger, Garlic, etc. When the tomatoes become soft, add Sugar or Jaggery and cook for another few minutes. Switch off the stove and serve hot or cold as per your desire.
Sweet Tomato Chutney or Tamatar Ki Meethi Chutney is mostly famous in East India. You can serve it hot or cold and can be served with Indian Breads, Bread Pakoda, Samosa, Pakodas, Chillas, Paranthas or Plain Rice.
