SNAKEGOURD SEED CHUTNEY

 Next to raw banana peel chutney,this ingenious chutney,impressed me a lot. I never knew,even the seeds can be productively transformed to a yummy chutney. This chutney has immense health benefits as well. Make sure to choose only tender snake gourd; as the mature ones will have hard seeds and can't be utilized in chutney
