Does anyone have a recipe for making fresh turmeric chutney - one that can be bottled and stored?

would you mean something like this - Piccalilli ?

Steve

I'm not really sure if that's what I'm looking for because in all honesty I don't know what I'm looking for LOL - that recipe might work though.

A few weeks back someone was talking to me about fresh turmeric chutney, but until they I'd never heard of it before.

I was just wondering if someone knows of an actual recipe - one that can be bottled and stored.

Incidentally, that recipe for Piccalilli, where it says mustard powder would that be ground mustard seeds or actual English mustard powder?

As it is Ian's (from BBC message boards) recipe, it is probably English mustrad powder, but I will check, if I remember! Life is a bit hectic here at the moment. The boards don't open until after 9 am or so, and I am usually not on computer by then. You can ask Ian yourself at; http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbfood/F2670471

Green turmeric root; I use it in cooking sometimes. I am sure the recipe will work if you were to make it same recipe as ginger root pickle/chutney. This is a green turmeric pickle I found on the net; http://www.expressindianrecipes.com/Recipes/Lahsun_or_Hari_Haldi_ka_Aachar.htm

there are a few here on site. Let me know what type of recipe you are looking for. Is it a fresh, green, everday chutney or a pickle that will last?

The recipe does say "mustard powder" rather than "ground mustard seeds" so I'd say English mustard poweder.

I'd too say that mustard powder equates to good old Coleman's. It is mustard seeds milled to create a 'double superfine' flour. This has more of a kick to it and is better at dissolving than what we can achieve grinding seeds with our coffee grinders at home.

For most recipes you can of course use home ground seeds but expect you'd need to increase the quantity used to achieve the same mustard oomph factor!

Mamta, I'm looking for a recipe that I can pickle and bottle and my turmeric roots are not green, will it still work?

I will have to buy some mustard powder because I want to make some Piccalilli.

Thanks guys.

Hi John

I am sure this will work Ginger Pickled in Lime Juice, I seem to remember making it a couple of years ago. Try this recipe, replacing ginger with turmeric roots and omitting turmeric powder.

If you want Indian recipes, try googling for; kachchi haldi ka achar (it means pickle made of raw/green/fresh turmeric).

Hi,

Mamta just contacted me to answer your question. Picallili is very firmly an English recipe and as such is calls for English mustard (typically Coleman's). I've not tried it with ground mustard seed, but in fact I can't see that it would be less good.

I always thought that Colemans used to put turmeric and fillers into their mustard, but when last I looked at the list of ingredients, it seems that either I was wrong, or they've changed their recipe - both are entirely possible.

Ingredients:

Water, Mustard Flour, Sugar, Salt, Wheat Flour, Turmeric, Citric Acid.

That suggests it is all still there.

Is this Ian Hoare in France? ?a va.
