Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 1 small, finely chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon, grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 75 grams brown sugar
- 60 milliliters apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the bananas and cut them into small chunks. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the mustard seeds and allow them to sizzle and pop for about 30 seconds.
Stir in the finely chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and red chili flakes. Stir frequently for another minute to toast the spices.
Add the banana chunks, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the chutney thickens to your desired consistency. Use a wooden spoon to gently mash the bananas into the mixture for a smoother texture, if desired.
Taste the chutney and season with salt as needed.
Remove from heat and allow the chutney to cool to room temperature before transferring it to a sterilized jar or airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and serve as a side dish or condiment.
