TOMATO CHUTNEY (TOMATO THOKKU)

INGREDIENTS :


Tomatoes - 6 chopped

Gingelly Oil - 3 Tablespoons
Salt - 2 Teaspoons (more or less according to your taste)
Mustard seeds- 1 Teaspoon
Green Chillies- 3 chopped
Red Chili Powder - 2 Teaspoons
Hing- 1 Teaspoon

METHOD :
 
First Chop the Tomatoes.
 
In a pan, add the oil (on a medium high flame)and the mustard seeds and once they sputter add the green chillies, hing, tomatoes,red chilly powder and salt all at once.

Mix well and cover this and reduce the flame to a medium.


 Make sure the mixture doesnt get too thick.
 
After about an hour, you will see it become almost a liquid and the and also gone considerably low in the       pan, 
 
Once you feel this is thick enough switch it off and let cool.

After it cools down, transfer to an airtight container and treat it like a pickle, so NO wet hands or wet   spoons. This will last as long as a month, or even lesser if you finish it faster :)
