Welcome Vanessa
Looks delicious! About how many cups of chutney will this make? I’m planning on cooking for 35 people, with your ragda pattice recipe, and trying to figure out how to scale up. Thank you!
this recipe gives about 1/2 to 3/4th cup of chutney. so you can increase the recipe ingredients by 3 to 4 times.
your dishes are seriously AWESOME ????
