Ingredients

• 50 grams chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, chopped onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon, grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds

• 200 milliliters water
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 30 grams protein powder (unflavored)

Directions

Step 1

Soak the dried apricots in warm water for about 10 minutes until they become soft. Drain and chop them coarsely.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and sauté until they begin to pop.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the chickpea flour and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning.

Step 5

Add the chopped apricots, red chili flakes, apple cider vinegar, and water to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then lower the heat and let it cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Stir in honey, salt, black pepper, and the unflavored protein powder. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.

Step 8

Continue to cook the chutney for another 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Once done, remove from heat and let it cool down to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container.

Step 10

Refrigerate the chutney for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
