Heat a saucepan, add mustard oil, then briefly fry mustard seeds, cumin, turmeric, and nutmeg. Reduce heat, mix in mustard powder, flour, and a splash of vinegar to create a thick paste. Slowly stir in remaining vinegar and 100ml water until smooth. Add apples, mangoes, sugar, garlic, oregano, and bay leaves and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain vegetables, add to the pan, and cook for 10-15 minutes until just softened. Transfer to sterilized jars and seal tightly.
