How to Make Apple Chutney
- Pour oil or ghee to a hot pan or pot. Add the spices - cloves, star anise & cinnamon.
- When they begin to sizzle add the ginger & let it fry for a minute. Then lower the flame and quickly stir the red chilli.
- Add apples, sugar, cumin powder, fennel powder, pepper and vinegar.
- Stir and cook covered on a low heat until the apples turn tender.
- Then open the lid and cook further until almost all the liquid evaporates.
- Mash a small portion of this mixture with the spatula to give a thicker texture to the apple chutney.
- Turn off the stove when most of the excess moisture evaporates. (refer video or pics below)
- Cool the apple chutney completely and store it in a clean dry glass jar. It keeps good for several months if you keep it in a dry shelf.
