Peel the kiwifruit and dice them into small pieces. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and red chili (if using).
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened but not browned.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and red chili, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced kiwifruit, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and raisins to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Sprinkle in the ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and salt, and mix thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking or burning.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For added sweetness, add a little more sugar; for more tang, add a splash of apple cider vinegar.
Remove from heat and let the chutney cool completely.
Transfer the cooled chutney to a sterilized jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
