Always use juicy red tomatoes 

For the best taste and flavor of Bengali tomato chutney, choose ripe red tomatoes. Avoid sour tomatoes. Fresh tomatoes make the best Indian tomato relish avoid canned tomatoes

How long should I cook tomatoes?

always cook tomatoes in low- medium flame for 10-12 minutes till the raw smell goes off and tomatoes turn mushy. If tomatoes are not cooked well, chutney might taste raw 

can I add onion and garlic?

there are many versions of sweet tomato chutney this particular version is inspired by my Bengali friend’s recipe. I prefer sweet tomato dip without onion and garlic.

why Kashmiri chilli powder in the chutney?

it gives mild spiciness to the dish and also gives amazing color so I prefer using it. If you are going to use regular chilli powder, adjust according to your taste.

will the chutney be spicy?

Though it is Sweet n Spicy chutney,  my recipe tastes more like a sweet chutney with a hint of spice. Adjust the spice according to your taste.

why jaggery for tomato sweet chutney?

traditionally sugar is used but to make it a bit healthy I have used jaggery. Adjust the jaggery according to the sweetness also sourness of tomatoes. You can also use brown sugar, coconut sugar, or any other sweetener of your choice. 

Should I add water to the thakkali pachadi?

I didnt water. You can add water and cook thakkali inipu pachadi according to your preference. 

shelf life of chutney

stays good for a week in the fridge.
