Now that autumn is here, it's the right time for apple chutney. In India, chutney is used in the same way as lingonberry jam here in Norway. This chutney is perfect on a slice of bread, for dinner or with cheese and crackers for example. It's also easy to make 
Apple chutney:
1 tablespoon oil
2 cloves
1 black cardamom
2 bay leaves
3 cm cinnamon stick (approx. 2 pcs)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 tsp ground coriander
1/3 tsp chili powder (if desired)
4-5 teaspoons sugar
Salt to taste
3 medium apples (about 300 grams)
Procedure:
Peel and core the apples. Place the apples and a little water in a bowl, roughly crush with a hand blender. Open the cardamom pod.
Heat oil and add bay leaves, cardamom and cinnamon. Let it fry for a minute and add the rest of the spices. Mix well. Add salt and sugar at the end and heat for about 3 minutes.
Store in a glass container in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 3-4 weeks.
Tip: Don't crush all the apples, put an apple in small pieces on top. The chutney will taste best after a week, when the flavor has settled.
Enjoy!
