Prep Time: 15

Cook Time: 1

Servings: Kg

2 Kg - approximately 13 Cups Green Tomatoes (One can use ripe as well as unripe ones)
20-24 - 35 grams Green chilies
3-4 - 10 grams Garlic Cloves chopped roughly into bite-size pieces
2- inch - 25 grams ginger chopped roughly into bite-size pieces
1 ½ tablespoon - 30 grams - Salt (or to taste)
2 tablespoon - 20 gram - Roasted Cumin powder
2 tablespoon - 20 gram - Garam Masala Powder (I used a bit more, you can reduce it) ** Refer notes for Gluten Intolerance
1 tablespoon - 20 gram - Roasted Paprika Powder (Can be substituted with Red chilly powder)
½ Cup - 120 ml Vinegar - I used apple cider
500 grams Jaggery (One can use granulated sugar too)

Roughly chop the tomatoes into quarters.
Chop the green chilies, garlic, and ginger into small bite-size pieces
In a clean heavy bottom, pot add all the ingredients except Jaggery (Sugar) including the salt, cumin powder garam masala, roasted paprika powder, and Vinegar.
Mix all the ingredients
On a medium stove bring the ingredients to a boil stirring in between.
Cover and cook this on slow to medium until the tomatoes are soft.
Keep stirring in between and keep mashing as the tomatoes turn soft using a masher or the back of your spoon.
Slowly you will see that all the ingredients come together and you should be able to get coarse to a fine consistency.
Add Jaggery or Sugar, mix it and let this simmer further for 5 minutes.
You can taste and adjust the seasoning at this point.
Once done, switch off and let it cool completely.
Fill it in clean and sterilized jars.

1 Cup = 240 ml, 1 tbsp = 15 ml, 1 tsp = 5 ml
I used Apple Cider Vinegar which is a bit sharp and pungent to taste. One can however use Wine Vinegar or malt vinegar.
You can reduce the recipe to half as per your requirement.
All the quantities can be adjusted as per taste
The chutney develops taste after a few days. Use sterilized and dry jars to fill the chutney.
The chutney can be kept at room temperature if closed and sealed properly. Once open refrigerate and use.
On refrigeration too it stays good for 5-6 months or more.
I have not added apples or onions generally added to this chutney. You can add if you wish to.
Do check the ingredients of Garam Masala if you are buying from the shop and are gluten-intolerant. Some ingredients may have gluten.
