        Hi Francine, This recipe can be easily adapted as a stove top recipe. Simply dice the tomatoes into small cubes so they cook in 5 to 10 minutes. Simply cook covered after adding tomatoes and add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water as needed while stirring it a couple of times. Let me know if you have any questions.

        Hi Sara, although I have not tried canning this, I feel if you store in dry, air tight glass jars this chutney should last for a long time in the refrigerator. I am glad you enjoyed the flavors.

      Loved this recipe and flavors. Once my green tomatoes were gone I tried the same with reds and it was great too. Use both on everything for an extra kick and depth of flavor. Thanks so much for publishing it.

        You are most welcome! My mom does make the same with red tomatoes too! You can also add yellow onions to the red tomato chutney.

      This looks delicious. Can I ask how much the four tomatoes weighed? I had to pick the last of the tomatoes from my garden early due to the cold and they are all green and rather small. Four of my tomatoes don't look as though they'll be enough just based on the pictures in your recipe. Knowing how many ounces or pounds would give a better idea. Thank you!

        Good question. About 2 pounds. I will also add it to the recipe 🙂 Let me know how you like the flavors.

      Hi Archana - thank-you for the recipient. Do you chop the chillies? Or leave them whole?

      I don't have asafetia and don't know what it is. What can I replace this with?

        You can skip asafetida
