Ingredients
- 1 large Bramley apple when grated – I got 2and a half cups of grated apple
- 4 and a half heaped tablespoons of any sugar subsitute I used Splenda which is a sugar substitute suitable for diabetics
- half teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- half teaspoons chilly powder you can use more if you like hot food
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
- 3-4 cloves
- 3-4 cinnamon sticks
- 1 dried red chili
- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
Instructions
- Wash and grate the Bramley apple
- Add the sugar and turmeric to the apple and mix well.
- Add the Splenda or any sweetener to the grated apples. (If you wish to use sugar – you can add 3-4 tablespoons of sugar)
- Cook the mixture for 5-6 minutes on a medium heat – until the apple softens.
- Add the cinnamon to the apples and stir. Cook the apples until there is no moisture and the apples are cooked.
- Note: When using a sugar substitute, the mixture doesn’t get as runny as when you use sugar.
- In a small saucepan – prepare the tempering by heating the oil.
- Add the cumin seeds, red chili, cinnamon sticks and cloves to the oil.
- Once the cloves pop and the cumin browns, add the tempering to the apple chutney and stir.
- Allow the mixture to cook for 2 minutes and allow it to cool until ready to be stored in a bottle. This should keep fine for a couple of weeks if kept in the fridge.
- This chutney is a perfect condiment to serve with an Indian thali or with puris and theplas. I even use the chutney in my sandwiches.
