#QR - This is a homemade Bong style chutney made of raw jackfruit (kathal). It may sound weird to many, but it is quite an amazing chutney. This simple and a quick recipe is a far cry from all the restaurant style food. Very few ingredients are required to dish out this chutney and is sautéed in mustard oil for an authentic touch. It goes best only with hot steamed rice and a drizzle of some raw mustard oil. So time to try out this rustic, village style regional delicacy.
