Plum Chutney

Plum is a red colour fruit. It has a sweet and sour taste.  Plum in Hindi is called Allu-bukhara.  You get this in North India during May to August.  It’s a very healthy fruit. Dried plums in general known as prunes.

Now days I see it everywhere and I get tempted to buy it.  I like to eat it with a pinch of salt. Yummmmmmmmmy.  I love the colour, especially when it is cooked it gives a bright red colour, it is gorgeous.

I have always eaten it raw, saw thought of making something out of it. Here is chutney make out of plum. Very simple and tasty.  Try replaceing this with  Imli chutney for Dhai Wada.
 

Ingredients

Plum – 6 to 7

Honey – 4tbsp
Apple vinegar – 3tbsp (or any fruit vinegar)
Red Chili flakes – 1tsp

Method

 

1.      Clean the plum, deseed it and cut it into small pieces.
2.      Heat a pan, add plum, honey, vinegar and chilly flakes.
3.      Bring it to boil, add salt as per taste.
4.      Now lower the flame and cook till the plum becomes soft, for about 5-10min.
5.      Stop the heat and let it cool. ( you can use the chutney at this level)
6.      Now make a paste in a mixer
