This recipe was provided to me by a friend many, many years ago. Kasoundi is an Indian Tomato Chutney that can be used with Indian dishes or as a chutney in it’s own right. This is a great recipe to make as gifts for Chistmas. Just make sure you sterilise the jars before using them!
Hints & Tips
- You can replace the Tomatoes with Kiwi Fruit for a sweeter chutney.
- You can replace black mustard seeds with any mustard seeds.
- This recipe makes approximately 1 litre of chutney but can easily be scaled to make as much as you need.
