Instructions

  • Wash the dried apricots and put them in a cooking pot. Add water and chopped ginger. Cook covered for around 45-50 minutes or until the apricots are nicely cooked and turn soft and mashable.

  • Add raisins, chopped cashew nuts, powdered jaggery/ sugar, salt, ground black pepper, red chili powder, garam masala, cardamom powder, and vinegar.
  • Mix everything and cook covered for another 5-7 minutes.
  • Allow the chutney to reach room temperature and then enjoy!

Notes

  1. To fasten the cooking process, soak dried apricots in water overnight or for a few hours.
  2. Apricots are already sweet so add additional sweetener carefully.
  3. Adding cashew nuts and raisins is optional but they make apricot chutney tastier.
  4. Instead of cashew nuts, you may also add skinned almonds.
  5. A few strands of saffron may also be added to the chutney for a brighter color and more flavor.
