Soak the dried apricots in warm water for about 10 minutes until they become soft. Drain and chop them coarsely.
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and sauté until they begin to pop.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the chickpea flour and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Add the chopped apricots, red chili flakes, apple cider vinegar, and water to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat and let it cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in honey, salt, black pepper, and the unflavored protein powder. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
Continue to cook the chutney for another 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Once done, remove from heat and let it cool down to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container.
Refrigerate the chutney for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
