The versatile chutney also makes a zingy spread on turkey sandwiches, or serve it with grilled chicken.
Yield: 12 servings (serving size: about 1/4 cup chutney and about 8 chips)
Ingredients
- 6 (6-inch) pitas
- Cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium)
- 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 (14.5-ounce) cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°.
Split pitas, and cut each half into 8 wedges. Arrange the wedges on a large baking sheet. Lightly coat the wedges with cooking spray, and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 400° for 7 minutes or until crisp.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds to pan; sauté 1 minute or until mustard seeds begin to pop. Add onion, ginger, garlic, and jalapeño to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in curry and turmeric; cook 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes. Uncover and cook 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in cilantro, raisins, and sugar. Cool to room temperature. Serve with chips.

I have made this countless times and it always gets rave reviews. It's always the star at parties, amongst the tired old crudites and smelly cheeses. It's the recipe that keeps on giving. I have substituted molasses for the sugar with much success (iron!) and I sometimes add the cilantro right before serving to add texture. It's definitely best served chilled and forget the pitas - use sesame melba toasts.06/10/08
