💡 Zero-Stress Garlic Tomato Chutney Fixes for Busy Days
For the best flavor, always cook the tomatoes and garlic on low flame until soft and slightly charred, as this gives the chutney a smoky depth. Don’t skip mashing – it keeps the rustic feel intact. Adjust spice levels by adding extra green chilli if you love heat. A small dash of jaggery can balance sharpness if tomatoes are too sour. Serve warm for rice or refrigerate to enjoy later with snacks.

PERSONAL NOTE
Every time I make Garlic Tomato Coriander Chutney, it feels like bringing comfort to the table. The aroma of garlic sizzling with tomatoes takes me back to simple home meals where chutney was always the star. I love how the fresh coriander brightens the flavor and how easily it pairs with rice, roti, or even dosa. It’s one of those recipes that feels homely, effortless, and full of love – something I never get tired of making or eating.

Yes! Just skip onions for a lighter version. It still tastes delicious with only garlic, tomatoes, and coriander.
It stays fresh for 2–3 days in the fridge when stored in an airtight container.
Of course! Add extra green chillies or increase red chilli powder for more heat.
It goes well with steamed rice, hot rotis, dosas, idlis, and even as a spread for sandwiches.
Yes, but hand-mashing gives it a rustic texture that feels more authentic and homely.
