Start by washing the tomatoes thoroughly under running water. Remove the cores and roughly chop the tomatoes. Set them aside.
Peel the onion and finely chop it. Peel the ginger and garlic, and mince them finely.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds, allowing them to sizzle and pop for about 30 seconds.
Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the saucepan, followed by the raisins, apple cider vinegar, ground coriander, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Stir everything well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.
Let the chutney simmer uncovered for about 45-60 minutes, or until it has thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Once the desired consistency is reached, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove the chutney from heat and let it cool before transferring it to sterilized jars for storage.
Store in the refrigerator or process it in a water bath for long-term shelf storage.
