Ideally its preferred that no water be added while making the paste. The moisture in tomatoes is enough to grind the chutney. If you have not added any water and have just fryed using oil, it remains fresh even without fridge for 2-3 days making ideal to carry while travelling. If refrigerated stays good for a week atleast. Shelf life decreases by using water. If you have drizzled some water while making it , you must keep in fridge to use for 2-3 days.
