Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp amchoor (dry mango powder)
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp kala namak (black salt)
  • ½ tsp Kashmiri red chili powder
  • ½ tsp roasted jeera (cumin) powder
  • Water, as required

Instructions:

  1. Mix amchoor, sugar, kala namak, red chili powder, and jeera powder in a bowl.
  2. Add water to make a mixture with a running consistency (about 1 Tbsp).
  3. Pour the mixture into a small pan.

Tip: The chutney will thicken as it cools, so remove it from the heat when it is slightly thinner than your desired final consistency.

Architecture Tip

When designing a house or an apartment, and where toilets come on the external walls, for the sake of elevational improvements, we give a duct type of covering to hide the PHE pipes. So when you are designing ducts, give ample space between the pipes and the surface of the duct. It should be open on one side so that the plumber can easily work on those ducts if need be.
