Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Red onions
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely slice the red onions.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and sauté until they start to pop, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and add the sliced onions. Cook gently, stirring often, for about 20 minutes or until the onions are soft and caramelized.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Sprinkle in the ground cumin, ground coriander, and red chili flakes, stirring for 1 minute to release their aromas.
Step 6
Pour in the apple cider vinegar, add the brown sugar, and mix well. Ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 7
Add the water to the pan and allow the chutney to simmer on low heat for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors meld together.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if desired, but remember that this is a low sodium recipe and additional salt should ideally be avoided.
Step 9
Once the chutney reaches a thick consistency, remove it from heat, allow it to cool slightly, and then transfer to a sterilized jar.
Step 10
Store in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 weeks for best flavor.
