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.
Ingredients 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.
How 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.
Roasting: 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.

How To Store
Usually, I make a large batch of this multi-purpose Italian sauce and store it.
To store this tomato sauce you need a clean and dry glass bottle/jar with a tight-fitting lid. Once the sauce cools down to room temperature, transfer it to the bottle with a clean spoon.
Drizzle olive oil over the sauce before closing the lid (this is my secret trick) . Tightly seal the jar with a lid and store it in the refrigerator for 1 – 2 weeks.
Make sure to use a dry spoon each time to scoop the sauce.
You can also freeze pizza sauce by storing it in freezer-safe zip bags, remove extra air and seal. Lay flat in the freezer and thaw before use.
How To Use
Here are a few delicious ways to use pizza sauce:
- Naan Pizza
- Lentil Stew
- Minestrone Soup
- Tomato Sauce Pasta
- Microwave Mug Pasta
