Step by step Falsa chutney recipe with photos of each step.

This chutney is ridiculously easy to make. The easiest chutney, I know. Why? It has four ingredients only and except falsa all are staple in any home. It doesn’t require any peeling or cutting and has just 7-10 minutes cooking time.

Only one little caution, I wish to make clear. There are two ways to make this chutney. One is boiling falsa so the fruits become tender and then adding sugar to it.

Second method is directly cooking falsa with sugar. We’ll use this method. So how the falsa would get tender? The trick is to use ripened falsa and mixing falsa with sugar and keeping it overnight. So the falsa releases its water and gets soft naturally.

Now, if your falsa are ripened (meetha) and soft already then keep sugar mixed falsa in fridge. If they are hard and sour (khatta) then leave covered on the kitchen counter. Check further instruction in the recipe.
