Grilled Cheese Sandwich with green apple chutney

Directions

1. Green Apple Chutney
2. Squeeze the liquid out of the grated green apple by pressing a handful between the palms of your hand. Discard the liquid.
3. Pour the squeezed green apple into a bowl. Add red chile powder, salt and crushed black mustard seeds powder.
4. Heat the smallest saucepan you have. Turn the heat to medium and pour in the oil.
5. After 2 minutes, add black mustard seeds. Once they stop sizzling, add turmeric and turn the heat off. You’ve just made fodni/tadka or tempered oil. It is a foundational cooking technique of Indian cuisine.
6. Add the hot fodni/tadka to the green apple mixture and mix well.

1. Grilled Cheese Sandwich
2. Butter two slices of multigrain bread.
3. Place a heaping teaspoon full of green apple chutney on a slice. Follow up with a slice of Havarti cheese.
4. Cover with another slice and grill in a panini maker or on a cast iron skillet with some weight. Grill as per your preference, I personally prefer light brown grill marks. Serve right away.
