Green Apple And Coconut Chutney Recipes

Steps:

• For Chutney:
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Pierce the "eyes" of the coconut with ice pick. Drain off liquid. Bake coconut until shell begins to crack, about 30 minutes. Tap coconut shell all over with hammer to remove shell. (The white meat with its brown skin should fall away from shell; if it doesn't, use paring knife to release meat.) Using paring knife, cut away brown skin, if desired. Rinse coconut. Coarsely chop enough coconut in processor to measure 3/4 cup (reserve remaining coconut for another use.)
• Heat small skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds; stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes (do not burn). Transfer seeds to plate; cool. Finely grind seeds in spice grinder or in mortar with pestle.
• Core apples; cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Place apples in medium bowl. Add lemon juice and toss to coat. Combine 3/4 cup coconut, cumin, apples and all remaining ingredients in processor. Chop finely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.
• For Curry:
• With processor running, drop garlic, chilies and ginger down feed tube and process until minced. Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until brown, adding 2 tablespoons water during last minutes of cooking to prevent burning, about 10 minutes. Add chili mixture and 1 tablespoon water; sauté 3 minutes. Add cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and peppercorns; stir 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons water, bay leaves, coriander, cumin, cayenne and turmeric; sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes and salt; cook until almost all the liquid evaporates, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Add chicken pieces 1 at a time, turning to coat in tomato mixture. Add 1 cup water. Cover; simmer until chicken is cooked through, turning once, about 40 minutes.
• Spoon rice onto plates. Top with chicken and sauce. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with chutney.

Steps:

• Warm the canola oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add the cumin seeds and fennel seeds-they should sizzle upon contact. If they don't, turn the heat up a little. Cook about 30 seconds.
• Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until the onions turn golden, about 10 minutes.
• Now add the garam masala and cayenne pepper; cook, stirring vigorously for about 30 seconds.
• Add the apples, ginger, sugar, apple cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons of salt and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper; stir and cook until the sugar melts. Keep cooking, stirring often, until the sugar thickens and caramelizes, and the apples soften, about 15 minutes.
• Taste for seasonings and serve.
• Combine the cinnamon sticks, cloves, green cardamom seeds, black cardamom seeds, if using, into a spice grinder or coffee grinder and grind until fine. Store the spice mix in an airtight container away from direct sunlight.

Steps:

• In a food processor puree the fresh coconut, green mango, shallot, yogurt, green chiles, and ginger with as little of the water as needed for a moderately thick consistency. Add the kosher salt and lime juice and puree until blended.
• In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds, dried red chiles, and fresh curry leaves, cover and cook until the seeds begin to pop. Stir in the coconut mixture and cook for 15 seconds.
• Transfer to a serving bowl. Keeps for 1 or 2 days in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Heat a small cast-iron skillet over high until nearly smoking. Add the dal and toast, swirling the pan the entire time, until it takes on a light golden-brown color, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately transfer the dal to a bowl or plate to prevent it from overtoasting.
• In a food processor, combine the toasted dal and the rest of the ingredients and blend until quite smooth. (It will still be a little chunky.) Blend in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to achieve a thick consistency that holds together on a spoon and is not runny. Season with additional salt and lemon juice to taste.
• This chutney will keep refrigerated in a covered container for up to 1 week. After that, the vivid green color will begin to lose its vibrancy, though the chutney will still taste delicious for a full 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Melt sugar in vinegar in keele.
• Add remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat until chutney is thick and clear.
• Seal in hot, sterilized jars.

Steps:

• Blend apple, yogurt, coconut, 2 tablespoons chopped onion, green chile pepper, lemon juice, and ginger in a blender until smooth; transfer chutney to a serving bowl.n
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mustard seeds to hot oil and cook until seeds start to pop, 2 to 4 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon sliced onion and curry leaf to mustard seeds; fry until onion is golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour seasoned oil mixture over chutney; season with salt.n
