Tomato and date chutney


Ingredients:
Tomatoes- 4 medium
Dates chopped- ¼ cup
Mustard seed- ½  tspn
Oil- 1 tbspn
Grated ginger- ½ tspn
Sugar- 4-5 tbspn depending on your taste (I use brown sugar, tastes like jaggery)
Whole Red chilly- 1

Method:
Heat oil in a pan, temper it with mustard seed and red chilly. Add the tomatoes in it, add a pinch of salt (Salt helps the tomato to cook easily). Cook till the tomatoes are pulpy, add dates to it. Cook till all the water disappears. Then add the sugar and ginger. Cook for another minute till everything is blended together, and you get a thick paste. Cool and serve.
