Worthy of a Special Occasion

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.
