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
Always cook tomatoes on a 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
You can add onion and garlic according to your taste
Kashmiri chilli powder 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.
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
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
I didnt water. You can add water and cook thakkali inipu pachadi according to your preference
chutney stays good for a week in the fridge
