Tomato Chutney from Tripura & Green Chili Chutney from Mizoram

By Pavani @napavani
Mosdeng Serma from Tripura: This was one of the simplest tomato chutney recipes I have ever made, with very few ingredients; tomatoes, onions, garlic and chilies. We can taste all of the ingredients in the chutney which are otherwise weighed down by tamarind and the tempering that are usually added in South Indian style chutneys. This chutney can be eaten with rice, roti or even as a sandwich spread. Mosdeng Serma from Tripura Recipe adapted from PJ.
Ingredients: Tomato - 2~3 medium, chopped Onion -1 medium, chopped Garlic - 2 cloves, peeled and finely minced Red Chili powder - 2tsp (adjust as per taste) Cilantro - 2tbsp, finely chopped Salt - to taste
Method:
  • Heat 2tsp oil in a pan; add the onion and garlic. Cook till the onions are light brown. Add the chili powder and cook for 30 seconds. If the fumes start to bother you, turn on the exhaust and open the windows and doors.
  • Next add the tomatoes, mix well; cover and cook till the tomatoes are soft and mushy. Season with salt and garnish with cilantro. 
Hmarcha Rawt -- Roasted Green Chili Chutney from Mizoram: I actually wanted to make this chutney for Mizoram, but changed my mind and made this simple steamed veggie dish. This is a very spicy chutney made with roasted green chilies. Use milder green chilies for a milder chutney. My husband liked it a lot, but I was huffing and puffing after a few bites. Hmarcha Rawt -- Roasted Green Chili Chutney from Mizoram Recipe from Sandhya. Ingredients: Green Chilies - 8, chopped Onion - 1 small, finely chopped Ginger - 1" piece, finely grated Salt - to taste
Method:
