Ingredients
- 350 grams Lemons (adjust)
- 400 grams Sugar (adjust)
- Salt to taste
- 2 teaspoon Red Chilli powder (adjust)
Steps
- To prepare Nimbu Chunda Recipe (Lemon Chutney), firstly, select lemons that have thin skin and are soft to touch when slightly pressed.
- Wash and scrub the lemons well. Keep them soaked in water for approximately 8-10 hours to get rid of the natural oils of lemon.
- Wipe the lemons well and cut them into 4 pieces. Remove the pips (seeds).
- Transfer them to a Mixer grinder and pulse them till they are roughly pureed. (There should be no chunks though).
- Transfer to a glass jar or a non-reactive container and add sugar, salt and red chili powder.
- Cover the mouth of the jar and keep it for 10-15 days in the sun for a few hours. Stir it once or twice each day during this period using a dry spoon or spatula.
- The Nimbu Chunda Recipe (Lemon Chutney) is ready once the liquid becomes syrupy. Pair it as an accompaniment to the main meal to enjoy its zing.
