Method
Blanch the tomatoes quickly in boiling water, peel, remove the seeds and dice. Cut the chillies in half lengthways and discard the seeds. Peel the garlic and ginger and chop, then blend until smooth in a food processor.
Heat the oil in a pan and when hot, add the mustard seeds, turmeric, cumin and chilli powder. Stir and cook for a minute or two until fragrant. Add the ginger, garlic and chillies. Add the chopped tomatoes, sugar, salt and vinegar. Simmer stirring occasionally until the tomatoes are cooked to a pulp and the oil has risen to the top. (aprox 1-1½ hrs) Pour into sterilised jars. This keeps well and the flavours continue to develop after a few days. Enjoy as an accompaniment for curries, BBQ meats, as a dipping sauce, in a burger or sandwich, or enjoy with a bowl of steamed rice.

Amazing! I’ve served this with fresh bread and goats cheese and most recently with baked Pork Belly. I ended up giving away most of the first batch I made to friends that tasted it and HAD to have it. I’ll have to make some more!

This is fabulous! I made 7 different sized jars – and only got to keep
one for myself – eveyone went crazy over this! Now I have to make more. Big pat on the back to whoever came up with this recipe!
I’m a vegetarian and it’s amazing on tofu as well.
