This green tomato chutney is my mother's recipe. This chutney is good to serve with rice as well as chapati, dosa or any other type of roti. It will keep good for 3 -4 days.

It is one of my favorite chutney recipes. It has a lovely green color of the unripe tomatoes.

The wonderful aroma of roasted sesame seeds attracts you and the chutney has that flavor too. You may add roasted peanuts too along with sesame seeds or instead of sesame seeds.
