Tomato chutney is a very simple and easy recipe. The Bengali chutney is quite different from the usual other chutneys. A lot of people also add dates to this chutney for natural sweetness. Sweet chuney is also my favourite as it goes with anything and it is perfect for those who like a sweet chutney that still has a little kick. This Tomato Chutney is also offered to Goddess Durga as part of the Bhog(goddess offering).
