What is Fire Roasted Tomato Chutney?
This Bihari Style Tomato Chutney is char-grilled on direct flame and then mashed to form a chutney. Finely chopped onions, garlic, green chilies, and fresh cilantro leaves along with raw and pungent mustard oil gives it a unique flavour. This is a great accompaniment for any Bihari food whether it's Litti, Sattu ka Paratha, Khichadi, or plain Dal-Rice. It gives a wonderful company to each dish in a unique way. The amazing thing is that this takes very little time and very few ingredients (mostly available in your pantry and fridge.)
Why is Roasting Important?
Roasting on a direct flame gives it a distinct, smoky flavour. You can prepare this chutney after roasting in an oven /air fryer, but that won't be the original Bihari Chutney/Chokha. Though if you are unable to roast it on a direct flame, you can make it like that.
You can use this as a salsa for chips and a dip for other vegetables.
Please do try it!
