    Hello Ladies

    This recipe was the brain child of my doctor aunt i.e my mothers sister, when she was doing her house surgeon, about 50 years back. She never had time for laborious recipes, she preferred everything to be done fast. She named the it Mumbai chutney, where everything is fast.

    Ingredients

    Besan 4 tbsp
    Garlic (crushed and diced) 1 bulb
    Mustard seeds 1 tsp
    oil 3 tbsp
    salt and chilly powder

    Heat oil in a kadai (not too hot, just warm enough), add mustard seeds, garlic, salt, chilly powder and besan. The whole process should be done on low flame. As soon as the besan leaves the raw smell switch off the stove. The chutney is ready to be served with any breakfast.

    hi,

    nice to know the chef behind the recipe is y'r aunt. We've tried this recipe many many times , but i remember adding water to besan and diluting it before taking it to the stove.

    Hi sabarimathi

    Thanks for the post. We have been making the chutney without adding water, which takes less time and tastes great. That's how we have been making the chutney from my grandmother's time, and we call it Mumbai chutney.

    Thank you.

    dear 4mango

    We will try this. Sounds tastier. I think this will go well with hot rice and ghee.
