Spicy Tomato and Tamarind Chutney

1.Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.

2.Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the hot oil. Allow them to splutter for a few seconds.

3.Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent.

4.Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chilies. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

5.Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and mix well. Cook until the tomatoes soften and start to break down, about 5-7 minutes.

6.Stir in the tamarind paste, jaggery, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix everything thoroughly.

7.Reduce the heat to low and let the chutney simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

8.Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a sweeter chutney, add more jaggery.

9.Once done, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
