Today's recipe is about Green Tomatoes. San Diego has not been very sunny the past few weeks and the tomatoes in my backyard have not ripened as a result.
So I thought this is a good time to try a dish with Green Tomatoes. Since they are loaded with vitamins A and C, I did not feel very bad about plucking them when they are green.
With simple ingredients, this recipe is a wonderful option for a quick meal.
Green Tomato Chutney is also good with Indian bread or as a dip for tortilla chips. Try it today and you will not be disappointed.
How to make this recipe
Wash the tomatoes and dice them. Place a vessel over medium heat and saute the green tomatoes in coconut oil.
When they become soft, add chili powder and turmeric powder. After about a minute, add tamarind paste. Continue to fry for 4-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow it to cool. Place a pan over medium heat and roast all the spices mentioned above, without oil (dry roast).
When the spices turn golden brown, remove them off the heat and blend the spices and green tomatoes to a fine consistency. Add salt to taste.
Green tomato chutney is ready to serve! Serve with steamed rice or neer dosa.
I am looking forward to your comments 🙂

So this is how you make a chutney! I'm well impressed, Uma! I read from various sources that we consume a bit too much oil in dressings. Chutneys be a great less "oily" alternative!
