Its been 10 months I'm married and from then on my chef role began. Like every beginner I used to phone my mom and ask for particular recipes. But today as i thought of preparing Kaayi Tomato Chutney, i felt as though i know this recipe and started on my own. Oh my God, it turned out to be so tasty that I got complement from my husband :). But was wondering as how did i manage. Was it out of Common Sense about the ingriendents or that i understood their tricks? haha..
Ingidents:
Kaayi/Unripe Tomato - 4 (take unripe - green)
Green Chilli - 3
Roasted groundnuts - 10
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - 4
Tamarind - 1/2 inch (optional for extra tangry taste)
Salt to taste
Sugar - A pinch
Oil - 1 tbsp
I couldnt manage to get complete unripe green tomatoes so chutney color is not entirely greenish in color. Better if can get complete green tomatoes
Method:
Heat oil in a frying pan. Add cumin seeds and let it sizzle.
Add chillies, curry leaves & diced unripe green tomatoes, Salt & sugar and fry for about 10 mins on medium low flame.
Let the mixture cool and then grinde it to paste adding tamarind. Now add skinned roasted groundnuts to mixture and grind to just 1-2 rounds.
Kaayi tomato chutney is ready. Can be served with hot roti/Chapati/Dosa/Rice
Happy cookings; Enjoy eating!
