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.
