Method

  1. 1

    Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and sauté the fenugreek seeds for about 5 seconds until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add the peeled and cubed apples to the pan and sauté for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Stir in the black salt, regular salt, and red chili powder, mixing well to coat the apples.

  4. 4

    Pour in half a cup of water, add the cinnamon stick, cover the pan, and simmer for 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove the lid, add another half cup of water, and continue cooking uncovered for an additional 2 minutes until the apples are tender.

  6. 6

    Discard the cinnamon stick, then stir in the vinegar, lemon juice, and all three portions of honey, mixing thoroughly until the honey is fully incorporated.

  7. 7

    Remove the pan from heat and let the chutney cool slightly before serving.

Tips while you cook

Briefly toast fenugreek seeds
Heat the fenugreek seeds for only about 5 seconds until fragrant before adding other ingredients.
Add water in two stages
First add half a cup of water, cover and simmer, then add another half cup after removing the lid for the final cooking.
Remove cinnamon stick before honey
Discard the cinnamon stick after simmering, then stir in all honey portions.
