    My experience

    During my childhood days this panchamrut chutney was a famous side dish during wedding feast. I liked it so much that I used to eat it as main sabji. My mother always scolded me asking for more and more chutney while having meals at weddings or any program. I still remember, she used to scold me once we reached at Home and also complained about me to my father. But, I was mad about this chutney.
