Ingredients

• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 1 small, finely chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon, grated fresh ginger
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 75 grams brown sugar
• 60 milliliters apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 120 milliliters water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and cut them into small chunks. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the mustard seeds and allow them to sizzle and pop for about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Stir in the finely chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 5

Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and red chili flakes. Stir frequently for another minute to toast the spices.

Step 6

Add the banana chunks, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water to the saucepan. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the chutney thickens to your desired consistency. Use a wooden spoon to gently mash the bananas into the mixture for a smoother texture, if desired.

Step 9

Taste the chutney and season with salt as needed.

Step 10

Remove from heat and allow the chutney to cool to room temperature before transferring it to a sterilized jar or airtight container.

Step 11

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and serve as a side dish or condiment.
