Ingredients

• 8 medium-sized tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large, finely chopped onion
• 2 finely chopped garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon, grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the tomatoes thoroughly. Score a small 'X' at the bottom of each tomato to aid in peeling later.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the tomatoes. Blanch them for about 30 seconds until the skins start to peel away, then remove the tomatoes and immerse them in cold water.

Step 3

Once cooled, peel and chop the tomatoes into small pieces, removing the cores.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a wide-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds and sauté for about 30 seconds until they start to pop.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Mix in the chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and the chutney has thickened.

Step 9

Add the apple cider vinegar and honey, stirring well to ensure the honey dissolves. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Adjust seasoning with more salt or honey, if necessary.

Step 11

Remove the chutney from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.

Step 12

Store the chutney in a sterilized jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
