Tomato chutney is a type of chutney, originating from the Indian subcontinent, prepared using tomatoes as the primary ingredient.[1] The tomatoes can be diced, mashed or pulped, and additional typical ingredients used include ginger, chilli, sugar, salt, aam papad, raisin, dates and spices and additionally onion, garlic and peanut or dal for the south Indian version.[1] It can be prepared using ripe red tomatoes or green tomatoes.[2][3][4] It can be eaten fresh after preparation, stored in a refrigerator, and can be bottled or canned and stored for later use.[2][5][4] Homemade tomato chutney that is canned can have an improved flavor, due to the ingredients intermingling while the product is stored.[4]
