Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pineapple (fresh, finely diced)
- 0.5 cup Red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 medium Green chili (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Oil (vegetable or mustard oil)
Instructions
Heat a small pan over medium heat and add the oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them sputter and release their aroma for about 30 seconds.
Lower the heat and stir in the turmeric powder and red chili powder. Cook for 10 seconds to bloom the spices, being careful not to burn them.
Add the finely chopped onion and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the onions soften slightly.
Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, cooked onion-spice mixture, green chili, cilantro, salt, sugar, and lime juice.
Mix everything thoroughly to combine. Taste and adjust salt, sugar, or lime juice if needed.
Let the relish rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately at room temperature, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
