Is it fine to cook it for just 10 minutes ? For example, classic Italian tomato sauce has to simmer from 40 to 80 minutes.
Dear Manjula,
I tried tomato chutney today. I think it tastes good. Thank you very much for your help.
Just love all these recipes:
All my life I have been waiting to make these dishes: With this kind of taste
Finally: I found your site:
THANK YOU & THANK YOU
Oh Manjula thanks for opening the door to such wonderful simple flavorful veggies, grains and beans!
Hello Manjula Aunty,
Thanks a lot for your wonderful and delicious recipes. I am providing my family with delicious meals after watching your videos.
My three year old also watches your videos with me. Now she is trying to make pulao, which was very funny to watch.
Thanks,
Sneha
Dear Manjula,

Hi Aunty,
Where Can I find Cornstarch?In Indian grocery store or walmart???
Any grocery store. Walmart, Kroger, Sams Club, Gas stations, liquor stores.
Its all around. 😉
Thank you for another wonderful recipe Aunty! This is delicious. Anytime I eat Indian food I am forced to make this by my tastebuds. Everything just tastes so much better with Tomato Chutney!
I have made it raw (not cooked) by omitting the cornstarch so I can get more vitamins out of the veggies. That is also VERY delicious. Many, many thanks for your recipes!
All your recipes are amazing and they turn out the exact same way you show them, must say your kids will be really lucky to have you!!
Thankyou so much for this recipe and all the other ones you post. You have a great skill and are wonderful for sharing it with others so they can enjoy eating vegetarian even more. We are new to eating vegetarian and your recipes are making it a pleasure to eat in a healthier and more friendly way.
G’day from Australia aunty,
i cant thank you enough for your recipes. They are scrumptious and mouth watering. The best part about watching your recipes is they are very EASY… i have so far tried yellow rice, pani puri and today i am going to try dhokla, tomatoes chutney (my husbands favorite). The funny part is that all the ingredients that you use are mandatory available at every Indian household so really we are not going out of the way to buy ingredients for your recipe. You have not only brought variety of food to my table but also controlled my budget. We are non-vegetarians and with your recipes we have become more vegetarian oriented. A big surprise for me is …MY HUSBAND IS COOKING AS WELL after watching your recipes and its sheer delight..
Thanx aunty
Please add more recipes asap…
Love to you
Jessica and Ali

Hi,
I have just made 5 batches of your samosa’s and doubled up your tamarind chutney recipe and I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW FANTASTIC everything came out! I can not wait for this afternoon when 45 dinner guests arrive!
Thank you kindly for your excellent recipes!
Irene
Kindly tell names of ingredients in urdu/hindi also.
Thanks!
This tomato chutney recipe is really delicious!
I changed it a bit – I used cherry tomatoes since my garden was overflowing with them, and used dehydrated red chillies instead of green ones since I was out. I also used just a couple of spoons of sugar since I already had some sweet tomato chutney in the fridge, and reduced the chutney a bit more since the cherry tomatoes were so watery.
Thank you also for setting aside your recipes which are vegan. It is much appreciated!
hello mam…………..green chilli pickle is very delicious in ur recipies. thank u very much

Hi aunty, I love your recipes, and you remind me of my aunt 🙂 I would like to ask, is it possible to make this chutney in advance, as I plan to make it in advance and serve it at my guest’s house. How long can this chutney last? Thank you. I am a big fan of your site now.

Hello Manjula,
Thanks very much for all of your recipes – I try new ones at least once a week.
I made this chutney today – it tastes very good.
I admit that I always make changes to my taste — I added chilli powder for more heat, and some vinegar for more tang.
Thanks again!
Yes, corn starch just give little thick ness to gravey, so its not important.

Deepika you do not have to use corn starch,
hi Manju mam.
ur recipes r very nice,explained very well. one doubt-in tomato chutney is it necessary to put corn flour? instead of corn flour can we put something else like rice flour?
no tomato es dont need to be skinned
Do the tomatoes need to be skinned, or do you just slice them?
Hello Glen just sliced the tomatoes dont need to seed.
Hi Manjula,
Thank you for all of your recipes. Are the tomatoes seeded then sliced, or do you use all of the tomato?
Looks delicious!
