Green Tomato Chutney
This green tomato chutney is my mother's recipe. This chutney is good to serve with rice as well as
chapati,
dosa
or any other type of roti. It will keep good for 4 - 5 days.
It
is one of my favorite chutney recipes. It has a lovely green color of
the unripe green tomatoes. Watch video or read the step by step recipe instructions given below.
The
wonderful aroma of roasted sesame seeds is tempting and the chutney
has that flavor too. You may add
roasted peanuts too along with sesame seeds or instead of sesame seeds.
