Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Keep the pineapple cubes separate.
  • Roast the tomatoes until the skins blister. Peel and roughly chop the tomatoes.

Making the Chutney

  • Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and chili flakes. Let the mustard seeds splutter.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, jaggery, salt, and desiccated coconut to the pan.
  • Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and the jaggery dissolves. Add a tablespoon of water if needed to prevent sticking.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and diced pineapple. Bring to a gentle simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a smoother chutney, you can blend the cooked tomato mixture before adding the pineapple.
  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes according to your spice preference.
  • If you don't have desiccated coconut, you can use fresh coconut, grated.
  • This chutney tastes even better the next day, so feel free to make it ahead of time.
