How to Make Indian Pineapple Relish

  1. Drain one 20-ounce can of pineapple chunks, reserving 1 1/4 cups of the juice. Finely chop the pineapple.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds and cook until they begin to sputter (about 30 seconds).
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds and 1/2 teaspoon of onion seeds. Sauté for 15 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of grated ginger (or to taste) and 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference). Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the chopped pineapple, 1/4 cup of raisins, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  6. Pour in the reserved 1 1/4 cups of pineapple juice.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the relish has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful accompaniment to your favorite Indian dishes.
