How to Prepare

Peel, core, and finely chop the apples.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add mustard seeds and wait until they start to pop.
Add chopped green chilies, ginger, and curry leaves, and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Add the chopped apples, sugar, salt, and turmeric powder. Mix well.
Pour in the vinegar and water, and stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and the mixture thickens.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Transfer the chutney to sterilized jars and seal tightly.
Allow the chutney to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.
