Introduction

This chutney makes a nice accompaniment for any meal or could even be used in
sandwiches or with a cheese board. It will last in the fridge for at least a week, and
is a good accompaniment to make up in advance.

Ingredients

 Makes 2 jars
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp Panch Pooran
1 fresh red chilli (finely sliced) 
1/4 tsp Turmeric
400g cherry tomatoes (halved)
20g Jaggery (grated and cut into small pieces)
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
Salt to taste 

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil to a medium heat in a saucepan and fry the panch pooran spices for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, chilli and gently fry for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add the turmeric, mix with the onions and then add the tomatoes.
  4. Add the jaggery and vinegar and mix well. Cover with a lid and leave to cook for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the lid and give it a mix. Turn up the heat and cook for a further 2-3 minutes to remove any excess liquid.
  6. Season with salt, to taste. Leave to cool to room temperature before serving.

The Rafi's Spicebox Cookbook

In 2016, we released the Rafi’s Spicebox Cookbook with recipes all based on Indian flavours and concepts. Some of them have evolved from Rafi’s original recipes and others from our team's travel to India and beyond. This book was written to inspire you to cook the best food that you can. If we can encourage you to enjoy the whole process of cooking these dishes and sharing them with family or friends, our work is done. We’re very proud of these dishes, and hope to hear what you’ve done with them in your own kitchen!
