Aloo Bukhara Chutney | Plum Chutney Recipe with step wise pictorial and video method.

Aloo Bukhara, which is called by the name Plum in english is a sweet and tangy red coloured fruit just available for a very short term ranging from the month of May to July every year.

We were having lots of plum lying in the refrigerator and after eating them as it is, wanted to turn them into something different, something delicious.

Two days ago, we made a delicious and refreshing Aloo Bukhara Sharbat/Plum Mocktail and that was outstanding.

But still we wanted to go ahead with something more unique and hence this chutney is here.

It’s a kind of chutney somewhat similar to meethi imli aur khajoor ki chutney which is generally served with snacks like samosa & pakoda rather than regular meal.

This chutney can be stored for upto 6 months in clean airtight glass container in refrigerator.

There’s a likelihood that it may turn out to be too thick, so whenever you are going to use it, take out the required portion and mix bit of water to make it smooth and enjoy.

STEP WISE PICTORIAL RECIPE OF ALOO BUKHARA CHUTNEY :

Wash, cut plum and remove the seeds. Add to the grinder jar.

Also add roasted cumin seeds, cardamom seeds, black cardamom seeds and water.

Grind to a smooth puree. Keep aside.

Take melon seeds and roast on low heat till they puff up. Do not brown them. Take the seeds out.

Add plum puree in the same pan. Also add jaggery, salt, black salt, red chilli powder, garam masala and raisins.

Mix well and let jaggery melt.

Keep cooking on low heat and keep stirring until the mixture turns thick.

Take the pan off the heat. Add melon seeds roasted earlier. Also add lemon juice. Mix.

Chutney is ready. Enjoy.

NOTES :

• Pick soft and ripe plum to make this chutney as they are more juicy and sweet.
• You can easily skip melon seeds and raisins but their presence make it chutney more delicious.
• Do not discard the lemon peel after using. This peel can be the part of most delicious lemon peel pickle recipe.
