Fresh Indian Tomato Chutney


If there's one thing Indian kitchens do well is making endless chutneys, and why not its so delicious & perfect accompaniment to any dish. And lets not forget the plethora of health benefits these herbs, nuts and vegetables when pounded and ground together brings. That's why every part of the country has its own chutney recipe influenced by the produce of that part. This recipe is my everyday go to chutney recipe. I try to keep a jar of it in my fridge at all times.
