Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. This very popular relish is from Gujarat in western India. It makes a wonderful dipping sauce for finger foods.
  2. Heat oil in a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat. Add mustard and garlic. Cook, stirring, until mixture starts to brown, about 4 minutes. Add turmeric, cayenne, salt and tomatoes. Stir and cook for 2 minutes. Add vinegar and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until thick, about 10 minutes. Spoon into clean jars and seal.
  3. Makes 3/4 cup.
  4. Note: Stays fresh for several weeks in a covered jar in the refrigerator.
