Tomato Coriander Chutney Recipe

Tomato Coriander Chutney | Dhaniya Tamatar Chutney Recipe

The easiest Chutney or Dip I have ever made, it’s the Tomato Coriander Chutney with a touch of garlic. This Indian chutney hardly takes five minutes to prepare and goes really well with an array of snacks and appetizers!

After posting almost a dozen of cookie recipes, it’s time to do something different, something savory and which hardly takes any time to prepare. Coming up here is one of the most loved Indian Recipes (particularly of Indian Chutneys), the Coriander Tomato Chutney recipe with garlic.

How to make Coriander And Tomato Chutney

I have already stated the basic ingredients above, the rest of the ingredients include Green Chilies and Salt. And you are done! Yes, this one is a 5-ingredient recipe, and you can make it in less than 5 minutes.

Just put everything in a Food Processor or Blender, and pulse few times, and Tada, the dip is ready. It’s as easy as that. This chutney is generally eaten with stuffed parathas, bread pakode (bread and chickpea flour deep-fried fritters), puris, among many other Indian dishes.

I especially have a recipe of Savory Vegetable Muffins which you might want to check out. The Coriander Chutney with tomato would go very well with these muffins too. These muffins are really great for moms with fussy kids. Do give them a try and serve them with this dip. The dip can also act as a great spread for sandwiches too!

This is my mom’s recipe, and I have many childhood memories associated with it. So, it is quite special for me. We always used to have this chutney with different kinds of pakodas (fritters) that my mom used to make on Sundays. The hot deep-fried snacks and the yummy chutney would make our Sunday breakfast exemplary!

Coriander Tomato Chutney Ingredients

• Tomatoes
• Coriander (Cilantro) leaves
• Garlic
• Green Chilies

This recipe calls for more tomatoes (I have used four) and less of cilantro (Just a handful) for the best taste. Lesser tomatoes and more cilantro ratio might not pair up very well, so I would advise you to use the ingredients as mentioned to get that perfect flavor.

I have used one green chili in this recipe, since I had a big-sized chili. But feel free to increase the chilies to 2 or 3 depending on the spice level. Also there is no red chilli powder in this recipe. Some people like the addition of that, but I am avoiding it here. I keep the spice level to low-medium in my recipes, as my daughter eats the same food, so the spice level here is kid-friendly.

I have been experimenting using this Chutney in some other dishes too. I have a version of Mashed Potato Quesadillas which use this Chutney as a spread. Otherwise, these can go really well as a dip with some fried or baked savory snacks.

Also, continuing the tradition, here comes my 25th recipe under My Julie & Julia Project. For those who don’t know, I had started this project last year, under which I had planned to post 100 recipes from my kitchen by the end of the year 2019. But since I got busy with other priorities in life, I have planned to continue the tradition in 2020. So, this is the Recipe #25 for you all.
