One of the many tags I could give to my mom is "chutney-queen". She can whip up a delicious concoction with any vegetable or same vegetable, in many different ways. Today's recipe is one such chutney she made when my dad got a bountiful of raw, green tomatoes from his weekly outing to the local market. With a hint of tamarind and nuttiness from sesame seeds, its yum with rice and ghee on top!.
