What goes in this Tomato Khejur Amsotto Chutney?
There is nothing groundbreaking in it; it is just a classic combination of ingredients and flavour!
Tomatoes - use any tomatoes you want or have! I used gourmet tomatoes. If the tomatoes are sweet and juicy, drizzle some lemon juice at the end of the cooking to balance the taste!
Sweet Mango leather, known as Amsotto, can be found in your local supermarket or Indian store. If you live in Australia and don’t get Amsotto in your nearest Indian store, you can use dried mango slices that you can easily get from Woolworths or Coles!
