SPICY SWEET AND TANGY TOMATO CHUTNEY/ DIPPING SAUCE
July 27, 2011 in chutneys
Bit of a shocker last night seeing Marion going home in Masterchef Australia losing to Aaron in the Satay sauce cook off. It’s given me the idea of posting this recipe for a spicy sweet and tangy tomato chutney that is usually served with savouries like samoosas, chilli bites, vadas, puri pattas etc. as a dipping sauce in most Indian homes. There are numerous chutney or dipping sauce recipes (some of which I will be posting in the future) but the most popular is the tomato chutney.
I have always purchased the readymade variety from the Indian specialist shops – the recipes that I had for making this sauce from scratch was very time consuming until I came across this very easy recipe. The tanginess of the sauce is very finger licking.
SPICY SWEET AND TANGY TOMATO CHUTNEY/ DIPPING SAUCE
1 bottle tomato sauce – all gold
1 bottle cross Blackwell chilli sauce
1 bottle Mrs balls original chutney
Mix together the first 3 ingredients in a saucepan.
2 Tablespoon oil
1 Tablespoon mustard seeds
1 Tablespoon cumin seeds
1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon green masala (can be increased according to taste)
1 Tablespoon garlic, crushed
1 Tablespoon methi masala (can be increased according to taste)
2 sprig of curry leaves
Salt to taste.
Fry the mustard seeds, sesame seed, green masala, garlic, methi masala, cumin, curry leaves and oil for about a minute.
Use brown vinegar to clean out the bottles and add to the frying spices.
Pour over sauce and mix well.
Season with salt to taste.
Bottle and refrigerate – can be used immediately but tastes better the next day as the flavours set in.

Looks great, how long would you be able to keep the sauce in the fridge before it has to be used up?

Thanks, Tandy and you have a wonderful break in George.

She was the strongest contendor – and her dishes were exciting. The game has now changed – it would be interesting to see who stands out now.
Enjoy your day, Sue – it must still be quite cold in Pmburg.

oops – sorry Flee – still worth watching. Sauce is especially good in this weather.

Hi RJ – the sauce keeps indefinitely in the fridge. The core ingredients are bottled sauces so it does not go “off”. The quantity is much larger than what I would normally buy – so this easily lasts a few months. Hubby enjoys slapping it on his burgers, cold meat rolls etc. Do try it – well worth the effort. You can play around as to how “hot” you like it.

The sauce is easy to put together and tasty – thanks, Ishay.

The dipping sauce sounds amazing!! I haven’t watch Masterchef (again) for the last 10 days or so and must admit that I am very disappointed to hear about Marion, because she was my favourite!
