DIRECTIONS

Combine the sugar, honey, and vinegar in a 4 qt. pot. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add the rest of the chutney ingredients and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hr. until syrupy and slightly thickened. Pour into jars, leaving 1/2" at the top of the jars, and close with a lid. Process in a water bath for 15 minutes and then remove, allowing them to cool at room temperature.

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, gin-ger, and jalapeño, cooking for about 5 minutes. Add the garam masala, coriander, turmeric, and salt and cook for another 2 minutes. Next, add the tomatoes with their juice and press with the back of a wooden spoon to break the tomatoes apart a bit. Simmer for 3-5 minutes. Add the chickpeas and bring back to a simmer, cooking for 20 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.

Grate the potatoes and squeeze out the excess liquid. Stir in the egg, salt, and pep-per. Melt 2 T butter in a 12" nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the potato mixture, patting it flat with the back of a spatula. Cook for 8-10 minutes on each side until browned and crispy. Slide potato cake onto a plate, cover, and invert. Keep warm.

Cut rosti into quarters and serve with the chana masala and Honey Mango Chutney
