Apple Peel Chutney

The other day i made apple sauce and had a lot of peels left which i just didn't have the heart to discard. I tried to find any apple peel recipes of my liking. I finally decided to make a chutney.

Simple cooking is my style and hence i decided to make a small batch first.

# Apple peels - 5 nos. apples

# Oil - 1 tsp

# Jaggery - 2 tbsp

# Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp

# Jeera seeds - 1/2 tsp

# Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp

# Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

# Water - 3 tbsp

# Salt - as per taste

Place the oil in a small pan, add mustard seeds. Once the spluttering of the seeds stop add jeera, red chilli powder, turmeric powder and the peels. Then add 3 tbsp of water, cover the pan with a lid and cook till the peels are soft.  Add jaggery at this stage and salt. Cook till the water evaporates completely leaving behind a sweet and pungent chutney. Please add few drops of lemon juice.

I love this recipe mainly because it is cooking without wasting.
