Notes

While this dry chutney can be consumed as is, I recommend having it mixed with a dash of oil.

Personal note: My friends and family enjoy my cooking. Anyone who tasted this chutney provided positive feedback. Because it is not spicy, even kids can enjoy it. My extended family members who come from abroad ask me to make it in big batches to take it with them! So, I hope you give it a try.
