Time 30m

Yield about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons canola or grapeseed oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 medium red onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 (1-inch thumb) ginger, peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon store-bought or homemade garam masala, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 (14 1/2-ounce can) diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons molasses
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 large cinnamon sticks (if you have the kind you get at Indian stores, it's about 3 tablespoons of cinnamon bark bits)
3 tablespoons whole cloves
1/4 cup green cardamom pods, shelled, husks discarded (about 2 tablespoons of seeds)
4 large black cardamom pods, shelled, husks discarded (about 1 tablespoon of seeds), optional

Steps:

  • Warm the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until nearly smoking.
  • Keep your lid handy. Add the mustard seeds and the cumin seeds; they should start enthusiastically popping upon contact with the oil, so cover the pot until the spluttering subsides, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the onions and saute until soft and just starting to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, and saute until the garlic is soft, about 2 minutes longer.
  • Add the turmeric, garam masala and paprika. Stir and cook about 30 seconds. Then add the vinegar (standing back so you don't inhale the fumes!) and cook 1 minute more.
  • Add the tomatoes, molasses, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Stir, bring to a boil, then cook at a generous simmer about 10 minutes until thickened. You can puree it if you like. Set it aside to cool and then jar. Store in the refrigerator.
  • Combine the cinnamon sticks, cloves, green cardamom seeds, black cardamom seeds, if using, in a spice grinder or coffee grinder and grind until fine. Store the spice mix in an airtight container away from direct sunlight.

Overall, I thought this chutney was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the chutney didn't turn out as thick as I expected.

This chutney is a great way to use up leftover ketchup. I always have a bottle of ketchup in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it in.
