Notes

serving suggestions- serve as a side dish or chutney with meal or daily take a spoon with milk like chyawanprash
Note-
  1. I have added only Jaggary in it but you can also add a combination of jaggary and honey both or if jaggary is not available at your place or you dont like the taste of it then you can use sugar .
  2. you can adjust the thickness of chutney as per your preference.
