  1. Cut the 10 limes into eight wedges each. Place in large glass bowl, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cooking salt and stir well to ensure all the limes are coated. Then cover with plastic wrap or lid and leave for 48 hours in the fridge, stirring occasionally.
  2. Drain the limes, rinse them well and mix with the sultanas. Process in batches in food processor until coarsely chopped.
  3. Heat the oil in large heavy based pan, add cumin, coriander, mustard seeds, chilli, black pepper, garlic and ginger. Make sure it does not overcook.
