Begin by making the relish – it can be served warm or cold. Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan and cook the onions for 10 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Stir in the garlic and seeds and cook for 1 minute more. Add the sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, vinegar and chilli and bubble for 5 minutes until the liquid evaporates.

Heat the hot dogs according to packet instructions. Heat a large non-stick griddle or frying pan, and toast the flatbreads in batches, turning until golden and crisp. Put a hot dog, squirt of mustard (if using) and some relish on each, fold up and scatter with some watercress. Serve with paper napkins.
