How to make Chaltar Chutney

Pressure cook the chalta slices for 10 minutes on medium to low flame.
Dry roast the paanch phoron with the red chill , grind it and keep it aside .
Put some mustard oil in a wok — add 1/2 tsp of whole paanch phoron and add in the chalta slices — Fry for a minute or so — Add the turmeric , salt and water .
Cook in a low flame for 10 to 15 minutes — now add in the required quantity of sugar —
Check the seasoning and remove it from the stove when you are satisfied with the consistency —
some like it watery others may like it thick — I like it thick — hence you will see in the pictures I have made it into a thicker gravy —
Sprinkle the roasted and powdered panch phoron and then cool it and serve it cold—
