GREEN APPLE AND GINGER CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Warm the canola oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add the cumin seeds and fennel seeds-they should sizzle upon contact. If they don't, turn the heat up a little. Cook about 30 seconds.
• Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until the onions turn golden, about 10 minutes.
• Now add the garam masala and cayenne pepper; cook, stirring vigorously for about 30 seconds.
• Add the apples, ginger, sugar, apple cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons of salt and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper; stir and cook until the sugar melts. Keep cooking, stirring often, until the sugar thickens and caramelizes, and the apples soften, about 15 minutes.
• Taste for seasonings and serve.
• Combine the cinnamon sticks, cloves, green cardamom seeds, black cardamom seeds, if using, into a spice grinder or coffee grinder and grind until fine. Store the spice mix in an airtight container away from direct sunlight.

Steps:

• Place all the prepared onions and apples into a large preserving pan and add the remaining ingredients.
