Quick Tomato Chutney

In a deep pan, pour oil. Add garlic and onions and fry over low medium heat until transparent.

In the meantime, cut ripe tomatoes into small pieces. Add to the pan and fry for 2 minutes over high heat. Add raisins, white vinegar, brown sugar and spices: sweet paprika if using, chopped chilli peppers and cardamom seeds. Simmer all the ingredients over a medium heat, uncovered for 20 minutes or until thickened.

If desired, blend all in a food processor or with a hand blender. Easy.
