This Tomato Mint Chutney is my mom-in-law’s quick and easy chutney recipe that uses no coconut. She makes this in bulk and stores it in the refrigerator for up a week, serving it with pretty much everything. I made it last month when I got a fresh bunch of mint leaves from Little India.

The flavour is just amazing and I get away with making no vatha kuzhambu if this chutney is there for lunch. If you want to see more chutneys for rice, then check out this peanut mint chutney, brinjal chutney, and chow chow chutney recipe.

Notes

  • For a variation in flavour, replace mint with coriander leaves or curry leaves. You can also add some coriander leaves to this mint chutney recipe but it’s best to keep the herb flavours separate
  • Store the prepared tomato mint chutney in a dry container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to a month.
  • You can add 2-3 cloves of garlic along with the onions when frying them, for more flavour
  • This chutney goes well with rice, dosa, idli, roti, and even with bread as a spread

    Hello I like the tomato mint chutney recipe but it doesn’t explain if we should fry the hing,gram, and salt in a different pan or add it to the mustard seeds and onions in the beginning.
    I actually am working with hing for the first time today before I saw this recipe. I made potato cauliflower curry with it but improvised the recipe with hing and I guess I have to roast it in oil too like the mustard seeds? I made the curry today earlier. I don’t think I cooked the hing right.
