The sweetness imparted by sugar is obvious in this unique chutney, but restrained enough to accentuate the tangy and spicy flavours.
Vinegar acts as a preservative and extends the shelf-life of the Sweet and Sour Tomato Chutney, while a squeeze of lemon imparts an invigorating sourness to it.

Have just read your directions. Am going to try it out right now and let you know. Can we add curry leaves to give it a southern flavor. Best always.
