Tomato Garlic Chutney Recipe

Easy Garlic Tomato Chutney Recipe – A simple, spicy and quick chutney recipe that is packed with flavors and goes well as a side dish with idli and dosas. This red chutney is apt to pack for office or school as it stays good all day long and does not spoil easily and its also suitable to pack while travelling long distances.

This is an Andhra style of tomato kara chutney which my Mom learned from her neighbor when she stayed there. The garlic is added raw for making this kara chutney along with other ingredients which makes it even more flavorful and a definite treat if you are a garlic lover.

Tomato Kara Chutney

Though I love the flavor of garlic, I simply can’t stand in chutney form, so whenever I make this chutney I sauté the garlic pods a little to get rid of the raw smell. My younger son also does not like the smell that it leaves in your mouth after eating garlic, so sautéing takes care of that problem.

 If you are game enough, you can use it as a spread on bread too and top it with veggies and cheese and enjoy it as a sandwich.

Spicy Garlic Tomato Chutney

Using Standard tomatoes instead of hybrid tomatoes will give the chutney very good taste and adjust the whole dry red chilies according to your spice level. If you love the flavor of gingelly oil, use that to temper the chutney instead of regular cooking oil.

    But while grinding the Tomatoes with the garlic, we won’t get a raw smell of tomatoes.
