Lemon chutney adds different fun to each plate due to its spicy and sour-sweet taste. The special thing is that it does not take much hard work to make it and it can also be stored in the fridge for a long time. Let us know the easy recipe for making lemon sauce, which can be prepared without tomatoes or mint.

First of all you need fresh, juicy lemon. Wash and dry about 8-10 lemons. Now instead of extracting their juice, cut them into small pieces. Keep in mind that do not forget to remove seeds because the seeds can cause mild bitterness in the sauce. After this, keep ginger, green chillies, a little jaggery or brown sugar, black salt, normal salt, red chili powder and roasted cumin powder ready. All these ingredients are necessary to give chutney spicy and sour-sweet taste.

Heat 1-2 teaspoons of mustard oil in the pan. After the oil is hot, add a pinch of asafetida and half a teaspoon of mustard seeds. As soon as the mustard starts crackling, add chopped green chillies and ginger and fry it lightly. Now add chopped lemon pieces and cook on medium flame for 4-5 minutes. This will balance the sourness of lemon and will bring texture like light jelly. After this, add salt, black salt, red chili powder and roasted cumin powder and mix well. To make the chutney sweet and sour, now add jaggery or brown sugar to it. If you want, you can also use honey instead of jaggery. After adding jaggery, cook on low flame while stirring for 7-8 minutes, so that the jaggery melts well and merges into the lemon pieces. When the chutney becomes a little thick and the oil starts floating up, turn off the gas. After cooling it, fill it in airtight glass bottle.
