You’re not likely to find unripe green tomatoes at the store, but, if you don’t grow your own tomatoes, no worries. Turn off the heat and add the paste slowly to the tomato mixture while stirring. Avoid lumps by adding the paste slowly and continuing to stir. You can sterilise any old jar, as long as the seals in the lid are intact. Sterilising is important if you want your chutney to last and not be contaminated. It can be done with a sterilising solution, such as Milton’s, or in the oven. Certain heirloom varieties of tomatoes (such as Green Zebras) start out green on the vine, and stay green when fully ripe. As they mature, their flavor sweetens, their pulp softens, and they become juicier inside, all while remaining green outside.

Though I have tried so many recipes, this recipe is special to me as it is very flavorful & easy to make. This can be made with any kind of raw sour green mangoes and can be consumed after 3 days of preparing it. To properly seal the jars, place the chutney into the jars whilst still hot. Close the lids and turn the jars upside down to seal as the chutney cools. Store the sealed jars of chutney in a cool place in your pantry for up to two years. Once opened, store the chutney in the fridge for up to four weeks. I know, how foodies love the way their parents used to cook, that's our biggest source of inspiration for recipes or everyday food.

You can also include other fragrant ingredients in the mix, such as garlic, fresh chilli or ginger, turmeric or horseradish. Boil a jug of hot water and pour over the green tomato mixture and drain again. Do this twice to remove all the salt.

Green chilies: The fresher the chillies the better for this recipe! Select unbruised, ripe chilies with a deep green color. I normally go for medium-hot green chilies but, you can use hot or mild chilies depending on your preference. In addition, make sure the chilies are completely dry before adding them to the jar. Absolutely! Green tomatoes (as well as tomato leaves) are edible, raw or cooked.

There’s a drain spout on the side so you don’t have to lift a huge, heavy pot to pour it out, but this spout is also great for dispensing drinks. To sterilise your jar, simply boil it with the lid and any utensils you’re going to use to fill the jar, for 15 minutes, making sure not to use any unsterile items until after you’ve sealed the jar. If you’ve ever tasted an under-ripe tomato, then you know that they’re hard and slightly bitter-tart. In other words, not particular great for fresh eating, lol. If you are wondering what to serve with these tasty chilies – Indian meals like dal-rice, curd-rice, veg pulao and roti-sabzi are great options. I have even served them with pakoras and parathas, and it paired extremely well. Other veg that would work a treat are broccoli (including the stalk), celery, French beans, mangetout, artichokes and asparagus.Keep the heat low and in the last half hourof the cooking time, stir the chutney more frequently and keep an eye on the bottom of the pan, as the chutney can catch and burn.

Canning often takes up all the space in my kitchen so no one else can cook while I’m in there. The electric canner makes it possible for me to move the water bath process to the end of a kitchen counter, dining table, patio, or anywhere I have access to a plug. Place beans, onions and sugar in pan with rest of vinegar and boil for 15 minutes then mix the mustard, turmeric, salt and cornflour with a little cold water and add to the pan.

This old fashioned green tomato chutney (relish) is the perfect use for unripe tomatoes at the end of the season. It is glossy, beautifully sweet and savoury and has such a robust flavour. Perfect for biscuits, cheese, sandwiches and cold meats. It is also really good in burgers and steak sandwiches! In the meantime in a bowl combine the flour, turmeric, and curry powder with the remaining 300mls vinegar until it becomes a paste. Reserve for later use. Simply pour the hot brine over the tomatoes and spices, let the jar cool at room temperature, and store in the fridge. Jar: For the best results make sure that the jar is clean and dry before adding the ingredients. Doing so will prevent contamination.Green tomatoes are regular tomatoes that haven’t ripened. Any variety of green tomato can be used in this recipe. The best kind of green tomatoes for chutney are the tomatoes that don’t ripen by the end of the growing season and would otherwise be thrown away. They are much firmer and less juicy than a ripe, red tomato. Red tomatoes are too juicy for this recipe.
