Start by washing the tomatoes thoroughly. Remove the core and chop them into small pieces. Set aside.
Finely chop the red onion. Peel and grate the fresh ginger. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and wait until they begin to pop, typically in about 1 minute.
Add the chopped onion to the saucepan and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan, followed by the apple cider vinegar and erythritol.
Mix in the ground cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything well.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook uncovered for about 45 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the chutney from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
The chutney will thicken as it cooks. Taste it after cooking and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Once it reaches the desired consistency, let it cool before transferring it to a clean jar or airtight container.
Store the chutney in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to two weeks.
