Pumpkin Chutney



In this video you learn how to prepare a delicous and subtly spiced pumpkin chutney in an easy way using seasonal products for this time of the year (October/November). The chutney, like other types of pickles, allows us to preserve seasonal ingredients for a longer time in the fredge. It can even be stored in the freezer. 

Given the rather small quantity kept in beautiful jars, this colourful chutney makes an excellent homemade gift for Christmas! 

Recipe:
400g Squash or Pumpkin
1 apple, peeled and sliced
1 onion, finely chopped
1 lemon, juice and zest
100g preserving sugar
150ml wine vinegar
Cinnamon, cardamom, cloves
Olive oil

How To Make Nutty Streusel Muffins At Home || Anjali Pathak |



Muffins are really easy to make and taste best when eaten on the day, warm, straight from the oven. I love to add sweet spices to the everyday favourite recipes, but you can leave it out if you wish. And like with all muffins, the less mixing, the better! So don’t be tempted to keep stirring even if you see lumps of flour – this will make it lighter.

Makes 12

Ingredients:
For the streusel topping:
30g butter, chilled and cut into 1cm cubes
55g plain flour/maida
25g caster sugar
30g hazelnuts, roughly chopped
For the muffins:
240g plain flour/maida
115g brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon green cardamom seeds, finely crushed
100g hazelnuts, roughly chopped
150ml milk
115g butter, melted and cooled
2 eggs, beaten
½ teaspoon vanilla essence (optional)

Method:
1. First, make the streusel topping. Place the butter in a large shallow bowl and sift over the 

flour. 

2. Rub them together until it resembles large breadcrumbs. A few lumps are ok.

3. Stir in the sugar and hazelnuts.

4. Pop back in the fridge until you are ready to use it.

5. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas 5 and line a 12 hole muffin tin with paper cases.

6. In a bowl sift together the dry ingredients - flour, brown sugar, baking powder and baking 

soda. 

7. Stir through the crushed green cardamom and hazelnuts.

8. In a large bowl mix together the wet ingredients – milk, butter, eggs and vanilla essence (if 

using).

9. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Quickly mix together, only 

using 15-20 strokes.

10. Fill the muffin cases evenly with the batter.

11. Sprinkle over the chilled streusel topping and bake in the centre of the oven for 20 minutes, or 

until they are well-risen and golden brown. Test by inserting a skewer into the middle of a 

muffin, it should come out clean.

12. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
