I was inspired to post this recipe for Green Tomato Chutney because of my DH and my daughters’ vegetable garden. During early spring, they started their own vegetable garden. It was their first vegetable garden, so TEE and ‘S’ were very excited. They had planted one of each vegetables (tomato, eggplant, hot pepper, sweet pepper and zucchini). The zucchini plant grew well and before we could get a single zucchini, it just died (don’t know why 🙁 ). The peppers and eggplant are doing okay, but are not producing as much as I thought it would.
Our tomato plant however, has been great and has borne us at least 3 to 4 lbs of tomatoes so far. You can see in the picture the vegetables gathered by ‘S’ last week. As much as we love the red ripened tomatoes, my DH suggested to gather the unripened green tomatoes and use those.
So I decided to use them to make tomato chutney . I made Green Tomato Chutney for the first time and it turned out great. I basically used the same ingredients that I use for red tomato chutney. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
5-6 green tomatoes
1 yellow onion chopped
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin powder
2-3 cloves of chopped garlic
5-7 curry leaves
2 green chilies (optional)
salt to taste
1 1/2 tbsp oil
Preparation:
- Heat oil in a saute pan. Add the mustard seeds. Once they stop spluttering add the curry leaves and chopped garlic.
- Saute it for few seconds and add the chopped onion.
- Saute the onion for about a minute and then add cumin powder, green chilies, salt and mix it all together.
- Finally add the chopped green tomatoes. Allow them to cook for 15 – 20 minutes until done.
- Serve with hot parathas or on the side with rice dishes.
Useful Suggestions:
- I tried it with some corn chips and it tasted great. Had the right amount of sweet and tangy taste to it. Instead of regular salsa try the green tomato chutney out. You will be surprised.

I love chutneys but I have never tried one with green tomatoes. Looks yummy!
I love chutney, I am going to try to make this this week
Nice recipe. I’ve enjoyed chutney but didn’t know how it was made. Maybe I’ll try making myself.
The only thing I’ve ever done with green tomatoes is fry them. I can’t wait to try this recipe! Thanks!
I have never heard of chutney before. I am going to have to try this soon.
I’m going to have you make me this! I love chutney but never knew how to make it. Well now I do! Thank you.
This looks really tasty. I will have to go to my dads garden and get some of his tomatoes and try this.
Our garden didn’t do very well this year. Terrible storms just ruined everything. Makes me so sad. Your recipe sounds delish!
I love green tomatoes and I am pretty sure this would be a favorite with both me and my family. We would definitely dip our chips in this.
Great recipe! I should make more chutneys – I enjoy them a lot!
I don’t think I’ve ever had any type of chutney. This looks pretty yummy!
I am not a fan of tomatoes but my parents love them. I am going to share this with them!
That looks very interesting. WOuld love to give it a try.
This dish looks really good. I don’t think that I have ever had chutney before but there is a first time for everything.
I’ve never had chutney. It sure sounds good though, and it’s def. a great way for you to have used your tomatoes. 🙂
I love fried green tomatoes, but I have never tried green tomato chutney before. My daughter loves chutney, so I really need to try this!
Our tomato plants are never perfect and I have often times wanted to grab a green tomato and do something with it. This sounds easy so I may need to try it.
I love anything and everything tomatoes. I’ve never actually tried this though before!
What a great suggestion that was. I’m so glad it turned out well. It sure looks delicious!
This is something my husband would love, but for me I hate tomatoes!
Oh my gosh, this sounds amazing! Of course I’m a sucker for anything with green tomatoes in it, but I bet I could sit & eat this by myself until it runs out.
Yummy this looks delicious. I love eating tomatoes.
Oh yum what a great sounding recipe – I’ll have to try and give this a whirl I think I would enjoy it. x
That sounds really tasty. I have actually never had a green tomato before, but this sounds like something I would like, so I should hunt some down and make it.
This looks amazing, I will try it out tomorrow night with corn chips. I think I will leave out the green chillies though.
This recipe sounds really good. I have a lot of green tomatoes at the moment. I’ll have to try this soon! (And my zucchini plant also had issues. My mom tells me it had enough water, but not enough sun. Sadness.)
Yummy never had green tomato chutney. Must try this soon.
I would like this! The problem is, I just picked and used all or most all of my Green tomatoes over the weekend.
I’ve never had tomato chutney, much less GREEN tomato chutney, but this looks really good! There’s nothing like using home-grown veggies, either!
