BM #115 Week 2 Day 3 - 

To conclude this theme of accompaniments/condiments for this week, here is the famous Bengali Mishti Chatni. There are many versions of this lip smacking chatni, as it is spelt, each one just as delicious.

This has been a very popular one at home as an accompaniment with bread, roti, pakoda, dosa and some more unique dishes :).
