Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the onion, garlic, ginger, pears, kiwi and squash.

Step 2

The day before, ideally, start to make the chutney. You will also need sterilised jam jars ideally. Heat the oil and fry the panch pooran, coriander and cloves for 2 minutes. Then add the onion and garlic and fry again for 2 minutes. Next add the chilli flakes, ginger, honey, lemon juice and salt and stir. Add the fruit afterwards and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 3

Once the honey has dissolved, reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. The mixture needs to become thick enough to store. Set the jam aside for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Move the jam into the jars with a spoon and seal the jars as quickly as possible. Store to cool in a suitable place. Ideally, it should be left overnight.

For the squash, preheat an oven to gas mark 6 for 15 minutes. Drizzle the squash with olive oil and roast for 35 minutes.

Serve with the chutney and, if possible to source, a vegetarian hard cheese alternative to parmesan. Add freshly ground black pepper.

​

The chutney should make a large amount - approximately four jars
