Short Description: A quick Indian tomato chutney made in the air fryer with roasted tomatoes, garlic, and green chilli. Ready in 20 minutes with very little effort.
- 4 tomatoes
- 1 whole garlic (unpeeled)
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 3 green chillies
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- salt to taste
Wash the tomatoes. Add them whole to the air fryer basket, or cut in half for faster cooking.
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 2 minutes.
Place tomatoes, garlic, and green chillies in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 15 minutes.
Toss once or twice during cooking for even roasting.
Let the basket cool slightly. Transfer everything to a bowl using tongs. Peel off the tomato skins. Squeeze the soft garlic pulp out by pressing with your hand. Break the stems off the chillies.
Mash everything together with a masher until roughly combined.
Add finely chopped onion, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and serve.
- Look for blistered skin on the tomatoes before removing them. That means they are fully roasted.
- Always roast the garlic and green chilli in the same basket. They are key to the flavor.
- Add the chopped onion fresh at the end, after mashing, for crunch and brightness.
- Use 1 green chilli for mild heat or 3 for a spicy chutney.
- Stores in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
