Preserving:
One of the best thing about this chutney is that you can use it for more than a week, just put it in the refrigerator after serving.
My daughter and husband loves to have it when I apply the chutney in the chapati and make a roll.
Now when sometimes in a hurry I make a roll of chapatti , instead of applying tomato ketchup and bhujia over the chapati I prefer to apply the turmeric chutney.
Hope you too try it in your home and tell me the response of your kids and family members over the new recipe.
