Tomato chutney (long shelf life) & an award

Thursday, February 10, 2011
In today's post I would like to give you the recipe of tomato chutney that has long shelf life. In the present day's busy schedule, recipes like this comes in real handy, isn't it? I learnt this from my mom and really loved the spicy chutney. You can have this in refrigerator for 15 days. It goes well for dosai, idly, rice, curd rice and many more!






Ingredients:
Tomato (big) - 6
Tamarind - lemon size


To Powder:
Red chillies - 17
Dhaniya - 1/4 cup
Fenugreek - 1 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Channa daal - 1 tbsp
Pepper - 1 tsp


Salt
Gingely oil - 1/2 cup
Mustard seeds



Procedure:
1. Heat little oil and saute the ingredients to be powdered 
2. Cool it and make a powder and keep aside
3. Heat little oil in a pan and saute the tomatoes (cubed) 
4. Cool the tomato mixture and make a nice paste, adding the tamarind and salt
5. Heat the gingely oil in a pan, splutter mustard seeds and 2 red chillies and add the tomato mixture
6. Leave it till the tomatoes are well cooked, blended with oil and the oil separates
7. Add the powder and leave it for few minutes


I would like to send this to Smitha's  "Best food I've blogged about" event.

I'm learning to cook foods that have longer shelf life now days while embracing the role of a new mom :)
So, I feel like entering a new phase - both in life and cooking
This is the first dish in that category and the one that I liked a lot.
