Tomato chutney is a type of
chutney, originating from the
Indian subcontinent, prepared using
tomatoes as the primary ingredient.[1] The tomatoes can be
diced, mashed or pulped, and additional typical ingredients used include ginger, chilli, sugar, salt,
aam papad, raisin, dates and spices and additionally onion, garlic and peanut or
dal for the south Indian version.[1] It can be prepared using ripe red tomatoes or
green tomatoes.[2][3][4] It can be eaten fresh after preparation, stored in a refrigerator, and can be
bottled or
canned and stored for later use.[2][5][4] Homemade tomato chutney that is canned can have an improved flavor, due to the ingredients intermingling while the product is stored.[4]

Tomato chutney can be used to accompany myriad foods and dishes, such as kebabs, sandwiches, burgers and meat dishes.[5][6]

mass-produced product in the United States.[7] Gordon & Dilworth in New York produced it in the 1890s–1900s (decade), and exported some of the product.[7][8]
