I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I used less chili peppers than the recipe called for. It turned out great!

This chutney is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of jaggery next time.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The chutney still turned out great!

This chutney is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a few tomatoes that are on the verge of going bad, so I love having a recipe that I can use them in.

I've tried many different tomato chutneys, but this one is by far my favorite. The tamarind adds a wonderful sourness that really elevates the flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, so I was hesitant to try this chutney. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how mild it was. The sweetness of the tomatoes and jaggery really mellows out the heat of the chili peppers.
