Fresh tomato chutney

A fresh Indian accompaniment that goes well with naan bread dippers or poppadums - good for a New Year or Diwali buffet

Ingredients

  • 6 large vine-ripened tomatoes
  • 1 large red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 handfuls of fresh coriander, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin seed

Method

  1. Halve the tomatoes, remove the seeds, chop the flesh and place in a sieve over a bowl so the excess juices can drain away.
  2. Put the onion and coriander into a bowl. Heat the oil and fry the cumin seeds for about 30 seconds then tip them into the bowl. Mix in the tomatoes, cover and chill.
  3. To serve, add some salt (see tip below) and serve.
