Background

Green tomato chutney is a recipe that goes well with anything. We often enjoy eating our dishes with various dips, relishes or chutney. The sesame seeds used in here will enhance the taste. As this is made using unripe tomatoes, it comes loaded with vitamin C and is in effect considered a healthier option.
