Instructions
To create this refreshing Strawberry Chutney, start by gathering your ingredients and setting up a medium saucepan. Add the cut strawberries, grated jaggery, and lemon juice into the saucepan and turn on the heat to medium. Allow the mixture to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries become soft and the jaggery has completely melted, which should take about 10 minutes.
Next, incorporate the turmeric powder, grated ginger, salt, and red chili powder into the mixture, stirring well to combine. Continue to cook until the chutney thickens to your desired consistency, which may take another 5 minutes. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the chutney into a bowl to cool slightly.
For the tempering, heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle until they turn fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour the tempered oil and cumin into the chutney, mixing thoroughly to ensure the flavors meld beautifully. Finally, sprinkle some kasuri methi over the top for an added aromatic touch.
Your Strawberry Chutney is now ready to serve! Pair it alongside oats and vegetable kebabs or a refreshing onion and mint kachumber for a complete dining experience. Enjoy this sweet and tangy chutney as a delightful condiment that complements a variety of dishes, bringing a burst of flavor to your table!
