Tomato chutney or oambal from Tripura cuisine. A sweet and slightly hot delicious chutney. You can enjoy it with any meal or snacks. Recipe is very simple to make. You don’t need much ingredients to make this chutney.
I have served it with lentil or dal cutlets.
Tripura is one of the North Eastern seven sisters states in India.
Tripuri cuisine is the type of food served in Tripura (situated in northeast India). The Tripuris are essentially nonvegetarians and hence the main courses are mainly prepared using meat, but with the addition of vegetables. Traditional Tripuri cuisine is known as Mui Borok. Tripuri food has a key ingredient called Berma (also called Shidal in Bengali), which is a small, oil-pasted and dry fermented fish. The foods are sometimes considered to be healthy as they are usually prepared without oil.

I read your recipe, it is good, r u using gandharaj lemon juice, if at last stage we use some vaja mosla powder, is will spoil the food or increase it’s test.
Not gandharaj I have used normal lemon juice. You can add little bhaja moshla at the end with lemon juice. It will definitely enhance the flavour and taste. But taste before and after adding bhaja moshla. You will know what you like most.
This looks like spicy chutney. Amazing to see how each state has their own version of the same dish
You are absolutely right. Like panch phoran tarkari. So many states have their own version. Thank you!
An interesting twist to a traditional tomato mosdeng. Like the addition of lemon juice and raisins. Must be very tasty and would love to enjoy it with some parathas.
Thanks Mayuri. Yes its taste great with paratha. We also enjoyed it with dal chawal ☺️
