A Chutney, A Salsa, A dip of Tomatoes.

A lunch out at Oh! Calcutta was very satisfying, It was the first entree that tasted so nice that  I voiced my pleasure to the friendly steward standing by. As of reading my mind he rattled the ingredients of the tomato chutney gave away very little but the use of smoke sauce got me excited to try this one time at home.
I used ingredients that I had tasted in this chutney all though he mentioned only tomatoes, chilies and smoke sauce. This dish turned out quite close to the one offered at Oh! Calcutta and was appreciated at home by hubby and daughter.

Ingredients:

  • Tomatoes 3 nos.
  • Onion 1 medium.
  • 2 Green chilies
  • 1 Green capsicum or Red Pepper would be bette.
  • Garlic 10 petals.
  • Mustard Oil 3 tbs.
  • Lime juice 2tbs.
  • Sugar 1tbs.
  • Salt to taste

Method :

On a gas flame place a net and some coal then  roast tomatoes, onion with skin, green chilies whole, capsicum and garlic.
Remove the blackened outer cover and put the ingredients in a mixer or use a mortar pestle.
Add salt and sugar mix. Heat mustard oil and add the paste and stir fry for a minute when cool add the lime juice .
Its a tasty side dish and Oh! Calcutta had offered it with the beer we ordered as an in-house entree
