Kasundi is an Indian relish which I absolutely love.
I use it to spice up meat, vegetables and most of all, mix it in with ‘pulses’.
You can ‘exotify’ so many dishes with Kasundi.

• 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander seeds
• 1 tablespoon nigella seeds
• 2 tablespoons brown mustard seeds

• 8 garlic cloves sliced
• 6 large red chilies, seeded, roughly chopped
• 1 large Spanish onion, chopped
• 250 ml organic apple cider vinegar
