How to Make Easy Tomato Chutney

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 bay leaves, 4 cloves, and 1 inch cinnamon stick. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add 1 medium onion (finely chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
  4. Add 2 pounds ripe tomatoes (chopped), 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Stir well.
  5. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft and have released their juices.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly to room temperature.
  7. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg.
  8. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. (For a chunkier chutney, pulse a few times instead of blending completely)
  9. Fill into sterilized jars, leaving a small headspace. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
