Nagaland Tomato Chutney


   Again a 0% - OIL FREE recipe,  a spicy chutney all the way from Nagaland, this chutney is usually reffered as Naga Chutney. A simple dal and this chutney always helps me have a comfort food. Those who have read my posts on Naga Chicken Curry, may have got to know my love for Nagaland ( a north eastern state of India ). Its more than 10 years that we have visited Nagaland, but still we have good memories of our favourite place, wish to visit Nagaland , and taste the authentic foods once again. I am trying my best to post some Naga Recipes. Nagaland is very famous for its very hot Naga Chili / Naga Mirchi , but hey do use Green Chilies and Dry Red Chilies as well.


NAGA TOMATO CHUTNEY

Ingredients:
3 medium Tomatoes ( tear with your hands )
3-4 Green chillies slit ( adjust accordingly)
5 Garlic pods
2 inch Ginger
a handful  Coriander sprigs and Mint sprigs
1 1/2 cups water
Salt to taste






Method:
Boil all the ingredients in a small kadai with water & salt to taste.
No need to cut any of the ingredients.( do check in the amount of water, do not let it burn)
Once its cooked and with no water in the kadai, smash it well with the back of a spoon or with a motor and pestle.
Serve with hot rice , dal.& Naga Chicken Curry


Notes: The quantity mentions yields 1 ramekin full Chutney.

  14. Priya, one more question.. i see that you have a couple of nagaland dishes in your blog.. and both uses green chillies.. i was under the impression that nagaland is famous for its naga chillies (red).. is this your variation or do they use green as well? all these questions cause this is soo different recipe.. have never cooked any Northeast state recipe or even tasted any

    1. Well Roshni, you are very true, Naga Chili/ Naga Mirchi is very very hot, but they do use normal green chilies & dry red chilies as well in their recipes, and there are so many variations of chutneys.
