Tips:

• This chutney tastes awesome when prepared with desi tomato, you can use normal tomato as an alternative.
• This chutney is ideally ground in a mortar and pestle, you can however grind it in a blender.
• You can vary the quantity of green chilli to suite your taste.
• Do not wash the tomato after it has been roasted it will loose the roasted flavour and thus nullify the exact reason its been roasted.
