Recipes FAQ

What are green tomatoes?

Green tomatoes are unripe tomatoes that have not yet turned red. They are usually firmer and more tart than ripe tomatoes.

Can I use red tomatoes instead?

You can, but the chutney will have a different flavor and texture. Green tomatoes are firmer and more tart, which gives the chutney a tangy flavor. Ripe tomatoes are softer and sweeter, which will make the chutney less tangy.

How long does this chutney last?

If stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, this chutney will last for up to 2 weeks.

Recipe Tips

  • If you don't have raisins, you can substitute them with dried cranberries or currants.
  • For a spicier chutney, add more red pepper flakes or a chopped chili pepper.
  • If you're not a fan of cumin, you can leave it out or substitute it with another spice, such as coriander or fennel seed.
  • If you want to make this chutney in a larger batch, simply double or triple the ingredients and adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Enjoy your tangy and delicious green tomato chutney!
