Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 1 jar

Ingredients

  1. 4 ripe tomatoes, chopped
  2. 1 bell pepper, diced
  3. 1 onion, chopped
  4. 1/2 cup sugar
  5. 1/4 cup vinegar
  6. Spices (cumin, coriander) to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping tomatoes, bell pepper, and onion into uniform small pieces.
  2. Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Sauté chopped onions until they become translucent and slightly golden, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add diced bell peppers and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly.
  5. Incorporate chopped tomatoes into the pan and stir well to combine with onions and bell peppers.
  6. Sprinkle ground cumin and coriander over the mixture, stirring to distribute spices evenly.
  7. Pour sugar and vinegar into the pan, mixing thoroughly to help ingredients combine.
  8. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  9. Continue cooking until the chutney thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency, approximately 25-30 minutes.
  10. Remove from heat and let the chutney cool completely before transferring to a clean, sterilized jar.
  11. Store in refrigerator and consume within 1-2 weeks for optimal flavor and freshness.

Tips

  1. Choose ripe, fresh tomatoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  2. Dice ingredients uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
  3. Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent burning and achieve an even simmer.
  4. Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent ingredients from sticking to the pan.
  5. Adjust sugar and vinegar quantities to suit your taste preferences.
  6. Ensure your storage jar is thoroughly sterilized to maintain the chutney's freshness.
  7. Allow the chutney to cool completely before sealing to prevent condensation.
  8. For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of red chili flakes or ginger.
