This mild and simple Bengali chutney is a surprise for those who don’t know about it. The procedure is so simple but the taste is so awesome!

Cooked and mashed red pumpkin is blended with an assortment of ingredients like red chillies, raisins and tamarind, which contribute spicy, sweet and tangy tones to the chutney.

Finger-licking tasty, this Red Pumpkin Chutney can be served as an accompaniment with meals or as a dip with crunchy snacks!

You can make a small batch and keep it in the fridge, to use whenever required. When you stock up on red pumpkin, you can also try Pumpkin Kootu Curry and Pumpkin Raita .

This lip-smacking chutney has been a super hit in my house... Sweet and sour and mouth-watering at the same time, it is difficult to keep your hands off once you taste it.... Plus if you are a pumpkin fan you will love it for sure...
