Ingredients

• 300 grams pumpkin
• 200 grams eggplant (aubergine)
• 150 grams carrots
• 1 medium-sized onion
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 2 medium red chilies
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 150 milliliters water
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the pumpkin into small cubes. Trim the eggplant (aubergine) and chop it into similar-sized cubes. Peel and dice the carrots. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, ginger, and garlic. Slice the red chilies, removing seeds if you prefer less heat. Set these aromatics aside separately.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan or pot over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the ginger, garlic, and red chilies. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the turmeric powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Stir the spices into the onion mixture and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 7

Add the diced pumpkin, eggplant, and carrots to the pan. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spice mixture.

Step 8

Sprinkle in the salt and brown sugar. Pour in the white vinegar and water. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

Remove the lid and check if the vegetables have softened and the liquid has thickened to a chutney-like consistency. If needed, simmer for an additional 5–10 minutes uncovered to reduce excess liquid.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or sugar as desired.

Step 12

Allow the chutney to cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars for storage or serving immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

Step 13

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve alongside roasted meats, rice dishes, flatbreads, or as a flavorful condiment for cheese boards.
