BM #101 Week 2 Day 3 - 

To conclude this series of condiments here is a lip smacking chutney recipe from the state of Bengal. I understand that there are many variations of this chutney and is unique for each family.

A few months back, my good friend, Seema, shared the chutney and the recipe too. She gave me about 4 versions of this chutney and I intend to explore all the varieties in due course.

I loved the sweet-sour-spicy chutney as a spread on toast.

Recipe Source Seema
Ingredients - 

Apple peeled, seeded and finely chopped 1 cup
Prunes/Plums peeled, pitted and finely chopped 1/4 cup
Raisins 2 Tbsp
Pear peeled, seeded and finely chopped 1/2 cup
Peach peeled, pitted and finely chopped 1/4 cup
Salt, Turmeric, Red Chili Powder as needed
Vinegar 1 tsp
Seasoning (Oil 2 tsp, Panch Phoran coarsely crushed 1 tsp)

Note - Pineapple, kiwi, mango or other seasonal fruits can be used. There is no limit to the number and variety of fruits that can be used. I just used what I had on hand.

I shall take a short break from blogging for the summer and hopefully come back in a few weeks with loads of new recipes and experiences. 


Method Of Preparation -

Heat the oil in a pan for 1/2 minute. Add the crushed panch phoran and saute for a few seconds.

Add the chopped fruits and salt, turmeric, red chili powder  and vinegar. Mix well and cover the pan. 

Lower the flame, add little water and cover the pan. Cook for more 5-7 mins.

Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the chutney comes together as a single mass.


Cool it for sometime and refrigerate it. 

Serve it with rice or as a spread on toast.

BM #101 Week 2 Day 1 - 

This week I shall post some condiments which enhance the main dish. I have been trying to make this Asian all purpose sweet and sour sauce for a while and it never happened until the other day.

It was simple and flavorful and went well with spring rolls. I used the leftover sauce to make noodles for the kids which they loved as well. The noodles recipe is for another day.  

I have never used Rice Wine Vinegar and I am not sure if the taste of the sauce will vary but I would love to try that as well in the future.

Ingredients - 

*Apple Cider Vinegar 1/4 cup
Honey 1/4 cup
Soy Sauce 2 Tbsp
Sesame Oil 1 Tbsp
Lime juice 2 tsp
Chili Garlic Sauce 1 tsp
Ginger, grated 1/2 tsp

*In almost all the recipes which I found online, rice wine vinegar has been used. Since I had Apple cider vinegar, I went ahead and used it.


Method Of Preparation -


In a mixing bowl, add the vinegar, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, chili-garlic sauce, ginger and whisk to combine.

Set the sauce aside and serve as an accompaniment to momos, spring rolls or use it to make noodles.

BM #101 Week 1 Day 3 - 

For the last no cook recipe for this week, here is a simple version of strawberry parfait which was assembled by my kids. 

I love it when the kids make such healthy snacks for themselves and I have observed that they eat stuff when they make it themselves. No drama no cribbing etc. Love to watch their happy faces which glow with a sense of achievement.

There is no recipe as such, just add in whatever you fancy and whatever your pantry allows for this refreshing snack.

Ingredients - 

Greek Yogurt 1/2 cup
Strawberries sliced few (From 2 big strawberries)
Granola handful
Sliced Almonds 1 Tbsp



Method Of Preparation -


In a glass container, layer the greek yogurt, sliced strawberries, granola and sliced almonds in whichever order preferred and serve it immediately.
