Francine says
I do not have an instant pot. How to I adapt this recipe? Thank you.
Archana says
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.
Francine says
Thank you!
Sara says
This is absolutely delicious! Love the flavors–this is a go-to. Is there any way to can or keep this longer than green tomato season?
Archana says
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.
Rose Galante says
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.
Jeremiah Dukes says
Nice recipeļ¼I love the flavor and the consistency of the green tomatoes! I have another way to cook green tomatoes other than deep frying them.
Archana says
Thank you!
Mariya says
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!
Archana says
Good question. About 2 pounds. I will also add it to the recipe š Let me know how you like the flavors.
Jonathan says
Hi Archana – thank-you for the recipient. Do you chop the chillies? Or leave them whole?
Jonathan
Archana says
I rough chop them and then mash in the end with tomatoes
