    This Tomato Chutney Recipe is made with fresh red tomatoes and a combination of sweet and spicy flavors that complement each other. This condiment recipe is excellent to top meatloaf, sandwiches, as a side to fried eggs or any other protein on the plate.

    Tomato Chutney is native to the Indian culture and can be compared somewhat to Jam. Similar, but not, chutney is enjoyed on savory foods rather than sweets.

    My First Experience With A Tomato Chutney Recipe

    The first time I ever had tomato chutney was when I worked at a university amongst a diverse student population. I worked mostly with Grad students and some of them were from India. One particular student liked to share recipes with me, I made his recipe several times throughout those years.

    I've since lost track of that recipe, started making this tomato chutney recipe that orginated from Eat This! Not That! (one of my favorite cookbooks!) I added brown sugar to the chutney because I love the spicy sweet combination and how it enhances the flavor of the tomatoes.
