Ingredients

• 2 cups Pineapple (fresh, finely diced)
• 0.5 cup Red onion (finely chopped)
• 1 medium Green chili (finely chopped)
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Oil (vegetable or mustard oil)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a small pan over medium heat and add the oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them sputter and release their aroma for about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Lower the heat and stir in the turmeric powder and red chili powder. Cook for 10 seconds to bloom the spices, being careful not to burn them.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped onion and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the onions soften slightly.

Step 5

Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, cooked onion-spice mixture, green chili, cilantro, salt, sugar, and lime juice.

Step 7

Mix everything thoroughly to combine. Taste and adjust salt, sugar, or lime juice if needed.

Step 8

Let the relish rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve immediately at room temperature, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
