About Tomato Chutney
Roasted Tomato Chutney is popular in North India, especially in Uttar Pradesh. It is a flavoursome summer affair.
When there is a lesser variety of seasonal vegetables available in the market, simple, homemade condiments like tamatar ki chutney add great variety to the everyday menu.
The word ‘bhune’ is a Hindi term for anything that is roasted. The tomatoes and chillies are roasted over a direct flame to get the smokey flavour in the chutney. The fire-roasted tomatoes give chutney its name – bhune tamatar ki chutney.
I sometimes feel it is the Indian take on the Mexican tomato salsa. Who knows, maybe the recipe was inspired by the authentic salsa.
PinIngredients Required
You need only 5 ingredients to make this tomato chutney.
- Fresh Tomato – use ripe and juicy tomatoes. You can use them to make tomato salad also.
- Green Chilli – helps in cutting down the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Fresh Coriander – makes the chutney refreshing and aromatic
- Salt to taste
- Mustard Oil – gives a spicy and savoury flavour to the chutney.
PinHow To Make Chutney
It takes less than 20 minutes to make this roasted tomato chutney at home from scratch. Let’s see how to do it in two simple steps.
PinRoasting: It is the key step in making this tamatar chutney. Tomatoes and green chillies roasted/grilled over the direct fire flame give chutney an intense smokey flavour. You can grill them in a BBQ as well.
Mixing: Remove the charred skin of the tomatoes. Roughly chop the roasted tomatoes, green chilli, and coriander for a rustic texture. Mix with salt and mustard oil. Or you can process them together in a food processor.

Serving Suggestion
Bhune Tamatar Ki Chutney is one multi-purpose Indian dip that can be served in many ways.
You can serve it as a side dish with Indian main-course curry or dal. Or serve it with masala potato fry and paratha for a hearty meal.
In my house, we love to devour this flavoursome chutney with either arhar or masoor dal, and jeera rice. A delectable, comforting meal combination for summer days.
Roasted Tomato Chutney can also be served as a dip with snacks and munchies. It is one of the quickest, tastiest condiments that can be done in no time.

Ingredients
- 2 – 4 medium-size tomato
- 1 – 2 green chili
- Salt to taste
- ¼ Cup chopped fresh coriander
- 2 tablespoon mustard oil (sarson oil)
Instructions
Rinse the tomato with water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel. On top of each tomato, make a cross or an 'x' mark using a sharp knife (refer to the recipe video).
To roast the tomato, you can keep them directly over the flame or use a wire mesh. You can roast the tomato on a bbq grill as well.
Roast the tomatoes till the skin is charred. Keep on turning tomatoes while roasting.
Once roasted, transfer the tomatoes to a bowl filled with cold water. This step helps in removing the skin of the tomatoes easily. Remove the charred skin of each tomato.
Combine roasted tomato, chilli, salt, and coriander in a food processor. Pulse to get a combine and get a coarse texture. You can manually chop them as well.
Add mustard oil and mix nicely. Taste and adjust the seasoning accordingly.
Transfer roasted tomato chutney to a clean jar and store in the fridge or serve immediately.
Recipe Notes:
- Along with tomatoes, you can roast green chilies as well.
- Tomatoes and green chilies roasted/grilled over the direct fire flame gives chutney an intense smokey flavor. You can grill them in a BBQ as well.
- You can either chop the ingredients or pulse in a food processor. The idea is to get a chunky and coarse chutney instead of a smooth paste.
- You can store this chutney in the fridge for a week.

Does one need to peel the charred flesh from the tomato and chilies ?

No need. It adds a smokey flavor to the chutney. But if you are not comfortable eating them, you can.
