Instructions
Make Tomato Chutney
- Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and curry leaves until they start releasing an aromatic scent and sizzling and dancing in the oil. Be careful not to burn the seeds and leaves or they will release a bitter taste!
- Add sliced garlic, finely diced onion, sugar, and ½ tsp salt. Sauté on medium heat until onions are softened and translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add tomato, turmeric, coriander powder, and chili powder. Sauté until all ingredients are incorporated. Continue to sauté for another 7-10 minutes until the juices of the tomato release and evaporate.
- Taste, adjust for salt, and let the tomato chutney completely cool (about 15 minutes).
Assemble Bruschetta
- Slice baguette into 1/2 inch slices and grill/toast. Generously spread about a tablespoon of ricotta one each piece of toast and top with another generous tablespoon of tomato chutney.
- Garnish each piece of bruschetta with flaky sea salt and chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
