Ingredients

  • Chopped green tomatoes, weighing 2 pounds
  • Cauliflower, chopped and weighing 1 pound
  • Onions, chopped and weighing 1 ½ pounds
  • Brown sugar, weighing 2 ½ pounds
  • Distilled white vinegar, 3 cups
  • All-purpose flour, 1 ¼ cups
  • Ground turmeric, 2 ½ teaspoons
  • Dry mustard powder, 2 ½ teaspoons
  • Curry powder, 2 ½ teaspoons
  • Ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon
  • Ground cloves, ½ teaspoon
  • Ground ginger, ½ teaspoon
  • Distilled white vinegar, 1 cup

Step 1

In a capacious pot, combine the fresh tomatoes, cauliflower florets, diced onion, a pinch of sugar, and 3 cups of vinegar. Heat the mixture until it reaches a gentle boil. Lower the heat and stir gently until the sugar completely dissolves, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, turmeric, mustard, curry powder, nutmeg, clove, and ginger to create a fragrant blend of spices. Add the remaining cup of vinegar to form a smooth, runny paste. Gradually introduce this spiced paste into the pot with the simmering tomatoes, stirring constantly.

Step 3

Continue to cook and stir the concoction until it starts to thicken, then let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Once done, let the mixture cool down to room temperature before transferring it to a storage container. For optimal freshness, store the finished product in the refrigerator until ready to indulge.
