I and my daughter were biting into Fresh, Juicy, Sweet, flavorful Red Plums. At that moment, I came up with an idea of Plum Chutney.
We are big fans of plums and every season its a must have in our refrigerator.
I only had few remaining to try the recipe. Therefore, I quickly stepped into my favorite corner of the house ‘KITCHEN’. Immediately, I started heating up the pan.
In the meantime I was scanning through my kitchen pantry for the spices.
Fortunately, I found everything that I wanted to include into the chutney.
At that moment I only knew that I wanted to cook sweet and spicy versatile chutney.
YUM!
I am drooling while writing about the chutney. So, I am typing with my left hand since I am busy licking the Plum Chutney. 🙂
The moment I added sage leaves and fennel seeds into the pan my house was full of its delicious aroma. I loved the delicious smell to the extent that I did not switch on my exhaust fan. 🙂
Yes, you bet, I can be crazy at times. 🙂 .While I let the chutney cool down to room temperature, I thought of capturing some fresh plums into my camera.
And guess what? I and Yashvi ate it all and hence I could capture those beauties in my camera.
I served the chutney to my husband and he loved it.
On the same day, I got an opportunity to serve the chutney to some of our close family friends that evening just to get a fool proof feedback.
Therefore, I am super satisfied with my creation. I am sure that as soon as you get the hang of this chutney you will devour it as much as we did.
This chutney pairs well with baked/fried appetizers like:
