1/4 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/4 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced into a fine paste
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 pounds tomatoes, peeled, seeded, drained, and coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons raisins
3 teaspoons salt
Combine fenugreek, cumin, fennel, and aniseeds in a bowl and set aside.   Heat olive oil in a deep sauce pan over medium heat and add the mustard seeds. Cook until they begin to pop (you may cover the pot if you want).  Add garlic and cook for 1 minutes, then add the combined seeds. Cook for about 30 seconds or until aromatic.  Add the vinegars, tomatoes, sugar, raisins and salt.

Lower heat and simmer uncovered for about 1 hour until the chutney has reduced and become dark, thick and unctuous. Let cool and store tightly in the fridge for up to 1 month.
