Ingredients

Aarti's Hot (not heavy!) Homemade Garam Masala:

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until the onions turn golden, about 10 minutes.
  3. Now add the garam masala and cayenne pepper; cook, stirring vigorously for about 30 seconds.
  4. 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.
  5. Taste for seasonings and serve.
