Chutney Ingredients

Preparation

Cooking Directions

1. Prepare the Aubergine

Dice the aubergine into small cubes and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for about 30 minutes to draw out moisture, then rinse and pat dry.

2. Sauté Aromatics

In a large saucepan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

3. Cook the Aubergine

Add the prepared aubergine to the saucepan and cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.

4. Add Spices and Sweetener

Stir in the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, turmeric powder, red chili flakes, and salt. Mix well.

5. Simmer

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the aubergine is tender.

6. Cool and Store

Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool. Store in airtight jars in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
