Tribal Rasbhari Fruit Chutney is a tangy, sweet, and spicy delight that captures the unique flavours of India’s forests. Rashbari is a small fruit that grows in summer mostly in Jharkhand, Bihar and Chhattisgarh. It is used in tribal cooking because it is naturally sour and similar to tomatoes. (Image: AI Generated)
