Tomato Chutney in Microwave

July 30, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Tomato chutney chatni

Let me be honest, we decided to make this tomato chutney last week as a stop gap arrangement. Let me narrate my complete story. I had sensed, looking at my past week schedule and by the scale of work left at office that this week is not going to be any different, which meant going pretty early to office and by the time I would come back home, I would be so tired that I would have no time nor energy to do any prep work for my next day breakfast.

We decided to make parantha dough and keep it ready in refrigerator, which we would use to quickly make some plain paranthas. However I would want my paranthas to be accompanied with some curry or dry veg preparations but as I said I had little time this week. So I made this quick recipe of tomato-chutney which serves as a perfect accompaniment with paranthas.

This microwave version of tomato chutney came out really good. It has been almost four days now and I am enjoying my morning breakfast of paranthas with this sweet and tangy chutney. It has got lots of tomatoes; well it is tomato chutney after all. The other important ingredients are onions, sugar and vinegar that impart sweet and sour taste to chutney. We have added some common spices like raw ginger-garlic and dry ones like red chili powder, black pepper powder to spice up the chutney and some raisins and almonds make it a little richer.

So if you notice, this chutney is sweet, sour, little spicy and rich too. If you are wondering about the aroma, we can add freshly grounded cardamom powder (an absolute no-no to packaged cardamom powder) that completes this chutney. Every morning this week, as I make some paranthas for breakfast, and open up the chutney jar, its tantalizing aroma hijacks my senses and sets my taste buds tingling. I must confess, it is driving my appetite higher and I am guilty of eating paranthas more than my usual appetite. I love this stop gap arrangement.
