Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel, core, and roughly chop the Bramley apple. Wash and roughly chop coriander leaves, mint leaves, green pepper, ginger, garlic, and green chilli. Soak the cashew nuts in hot water for 30 minutes to soften.
- Blend Base Ingredients: Add all ingredients except the cashew nuts—including coriander, apple, mint, green pepper, ginger, garlic, green chilli, caster sugar, ground cumin seeds, and juice of half a lime—into a blender. Add a generous splash of hot water to help with blending. Blend until smooth.
- Add Cashew Nuts: Drain the soaked cashew nuts and add them to the blended mixture. Blitz again until the relish is smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Flavor: Taste the chutney and adjust the sweetness or tanginess by adding more caster sugar or lime juice as desired to achieve a balanced sweet-tangy flavor.
- Store: Transfer the chutney to a bowl and cover. Store in the refrigerator and consume within one day for best freshness and flavor.
Notes
- This relish traditionally uses green mango for tartness, but Bramley apple is an excellent substitute offering a similar tart flavor.
- Use fresh, high-quality coriander and mint leaves for the best flavor impact.
- Adjust the green chilli quantity to control the heat level of the relish according to your preference.
- Consume the relish within a day as it contains fresh ingredients and no preservatives.
