Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1.5 teaspoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 5 medium Fresh tomatoes, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes, or until softened and slightly translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir to coat the onion mixture in the spices, cooking for 1 minute.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the spice mixture.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the tomatoes cook down for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and begin to break down into a chunky sauce.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the relish to thicken. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or sugar as desired.
Remove the skillet from heat. Let the relish cool slightly before serving or transferring to a storage container.
Optional: Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
