Chutney is an important condiment in Indian cuisine. This roasted tomato chutney is popularly called tomato chokha, a tangy, spicy relish from Bihar. In the old days, people used to roast these on a charcoal fire. This is a nice nutritious accompaniment, that is packed with flavors and can be savored on any season. I have also shared aloo chokha, a similar recipe that I make quite often.

To make this tomato chutney you need some ripe and firm tomatoes, onion, garlic, green chili, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, mustard oil, and salt. Tomatoes, onion, garlic, and green chili are roasted on fire first. Then crushed in a mortar pestle to make the chutney.

Few Tips to make the best roasted tomato chutney

  • Roasting: Always roast over a medium flame. I have used a jali or stainless steel grill (generally used while making roti in Indian household) in this. Roasting on an open fire will do the job too.
  • The use of mortar pestle really gives this an amazing taste. It can be mashed as well. As they are nicely cooked, you don’t need to apply a lot of pressure. Though you can always use a food processor or blender. But for the best taste, I would suggest either use a mortar pestle or mash them. 
  • Green chilies used here are mild. Hence I have used two. If yours are spicy use one instead or use it as per your resistance. Deseed the chilies if you are sensitive to spice. 
  • The addition of mustard oil lends a beautiful taste to the chutney. So don’t skip this.
  • Serving: I prefer to serve it immediately or refrigerate for a day. Just remember to add the salt just before serving. As ingredients lose water after adding salt.
