I call this Madras Tomato Chutney or Andhra Tomato Chutney. Yes, yes! I know the two places are completely different in terms of language, culture, eating habits etc. But what I mean to say is that this is a South Indian style chutney, and uses ingredients that are predominantly used in Southern Indian cooking.
If you ever tasted the frozen ‘Madras Tomato Chutney’ available from Deep Foods, that is always available in your Indian grocery store, then you will probably get the taste that we are after here. You need lots of fresh tomatoes, lots of fresh curry leaves, chillies for the heat and a few other things. This chutney is great with Dosas and Uttapams. Actually, I can pretty much eat it with anything – parathas, rotis, bread etc. Tastes really great inside a grilled sandwich sort of like a pesto! Or as a spread for an Indian inspired burger.
Now that you don’t lack ideas for how to eat this, let’s get on with the recipe –

I am happy to see this recipe. I love the Deep foods Madras tomato chutney. Another thing I love is the chutney from the khamaan they make frozen. I would like to know that too. Thank you, Philip
Hi Philip, I am glad you like this recipe. This has become a staple with me to eat with Idlis, Bread, Wraps, or just about anything. I am not sure what chutney they use with Khaman, because I personally don’t like Khaman :).
Is it a green chutney? It might be the same as the Mint Coriander chutney that is available in small cartons like the Madras tomato. I am planning to post a recipe for a simple green chutney soon.
Stay tuned and thanks!
Hey. ..Thank you guys…its an awesome recipe…me and my siblings absolutely love it….keep up the good work!
Super excited to see this recipe! just like above comment i had the deep brand chutney yesterday and have been craving since then! cannot wait to cook this one! Thanks a lot!
Kamal, this is the BEST Madras style tomato chutney ever and it’s much better than Deep’s box version!! I was wondering how to make this chutney like Deep’s and this find was God send. THANK YOU! Awesome recipe. This is our staple chutney at home combined with Udipi style green coconut chutney. It’s perfect with dosas, idlis, and dhoklas. Alter this recipe to make it more or less spicy as you need. Keep it up. Cheers!
This sounds simply amazing! I’ve never tried a tomato chutney before, but I am pretty sure it’s amazing!
One question: can you freeze or conserve it too? And if yes, how?
